[ Aegis assumes that Himeka's correction is her own opinion, and perhaps one that has been transferred to her demigod creation. He has seen his sister snack, and it's certainly something to behold.
Of course, that's something that they can discuss in more detail once the job is done. As Cid transforms to make himself a bit more palatable to the demigod, Aegis moves into position, ready to strike when the moment is right.
Although even then, he's not quite ready for the speed with which the creature hauls itself out of the water and after Cid. It's famished, clearly, driven by the overwhelming need to consume.
He's already moving before Azem calls for him, having processed the way she's controlled the makeshift battlefield and how he can use it to his advantage. His wings add to his speed, allowing him to flank the snail. He knows that his blade won't do much against the shell, and so he expends one of his cartridges against the hard exterior, causing a small but controlled explosion. The blast heats up the shell instantly, causing the demigod to let out a shriek of distress as its sluglike form quickly slithers out from its no-longer-safe armor. ]
Azem? Might you explain why a snail can move this quickly?
[ If he'd been just the slightest bit distracted, that could have turned south in a hurry.
As for bantering in the midst of a fight, that's just their thing. He doubts Cid will mind all that much. ]
