[ He's ready to fire another blade of wind if it'll cooperate - if that's what the shimmers passing between his hands mean he's calling forth and not something which won't do anything at all. Claude doesn't get the chance to hope it's something better when in short order there's a leg missing, a bite taken, and just enough time for him to think what- suddenly he's flying through the air before landing with a thud some feet away. The leg touches down where he'd been standing a second later for a near miss in being pinned himself thanks to that quick thinking.
What Henry says is lost to him only because the impact draws another bout of coughing out of him, but he thinks he got the point of it. No time to stop, Claude thinks, and he pushes himself back up in time to see Sylvain's fire engulf the monster. This time when it waves a blazing leg around, probably in pain if that screech is anything to go by, Claude's quick enough to half roll, half stumble out of the way. Turns out it doesn't land within a vicinity where he needs to be (too) concerned, which means he's able to get closer to Sylvain to rest a hand on his shoulder. Enough for a healing spell to pass through quickly, though his gaze is still tracking the monster partially on fire if the smoke is anything to go by so it may or may not work. ]
Nice work. You stay here. [ To Sylvain first, and then to Steve, Louis, and Henry with a point towards one particularly flame damaged spot on the Bone Serpent - ] On this side! Another leg is damaged where it connects. It's--
[ Waving a hand towards it really isn't going to clarify anything given this thing is all connecting spikes so on second thought, Claude brings forth that wind spell again powered by sheer spite. This time it strikes where he intended it to go and has the added fortune of flaring the still smoldering edges of that potential target he'd spotted so it glows like a beacon. ]
