She eyed the unicorn warily as it approached her. Maea had never seen one up close before, and there was something about its size and the very intelligent look in its eyes that made her nervous. She stood very still as the creature began to administer its healing, breathing into the pain as needles were removed from her flesh; then sighed as both discomfort and numbness eased away. Only the bloodstains and the holes of the fabric of her shirt remained to suggest she had been injured at all, and even those were a bit hard to look at. Maea had been sick more than she cared to think about, but never injured. Not like this. It was... not a wholly pleasant experience.
Once she was patched up and back on her feet, she joined the others in listening to Deimos further instructions. Her eyes widened at the sight of the fire he created, awe and instinctual fear making her retreat a few steps as the heat of it washed over them. Quite without thinking, Maea reached for the dregs of water she had spilled over the ground and wove it, brought it up in a protective dome of liquid in front of them and above their heads - especially thick over Rexanna, so that no sparks or stray flames would touch the Ascended woman. The water was clear and quite transparent, doing nothing to block the view of the threat before them.
[say]"I can shield us from the fire like this,"[/say] she said to the others, sparing a quick look around. [say]"I will back the rest of you up with it and with ice, so perhaps Jigano can make a path of earth through the flames, and then Rexanna and Hotaru can go in to take Deimos on at close quarters? Defeat the fire by making him unable to produce it."[/say]It was a quickly drawn up plan, and delivered with quite some confidence - but her tone suggested she was more than willing to accept other suggestions if they had any.
It did not even occur to her to wait for someone else to take the lead, utterly focused on the task at hand.

Maea makes a dome of water between the fire and the group to protect them all from the heat and the scattered embers (especially Rexanna) and suggests a battle plan!
