He didn't get burned, but his clothing became a little singed and he had to hurry to pat out some sparks in his hair as they failed to put a dent in the fire - and Deimos turned up the heat. Minor inconveniences, but as a bard he knew the real danger lay in frustration and a lowering of morale. He wasn't always the best at encouraging people to work together, but he tried for his friends's sake to keep a brighter outlook.
"You make a good team!" he flashed a grin towards Rex and Maea in spite of the disappointment of all of their initial attempts falling apart. "We just need a little more practice working together. Hotaru, can you watch our backs? Give us a headsup if one of us is about to get hit?" She was already doing it, and he didn't have a better idea for her lightning at the moment.
Water, though... maybe it just needed to be more directed? He reached for his magic again, bronze and green strings thrumming within as he concocted something new: a funnel made of hard clay with a handle that he gripped tightly against the creation's weight. "Maea, you've got the right idea to protect us from those fireballs," he cheered her on, then offered Rex a wry grin. "Rex, can you divert some of that water over here? Let's see if pushing it through the funnel can increase the water pressure enough to douse the base of the flames against our General's efforts."
Jigano suggests Hotaru continue protecting them and Maea should keep working on her shield. He makes a large clay funnel to act as the nozzle on a firehose and asks Rex to divert water to it to see if they can put the base of the fire out with high-powered water spray.
