[He's absolutely monitoring all of Merlin's moves, pinpointing what he can do and the elements he's using. Air, earth and water so far, and it all makes sense, and it's probably good for Merlin's ego to hear Hiro cheering now and then each time a new spell shows up to obliterate the NPCs he's created.
But like most things, all good things must come to an end. The snake itself is tall, towering stories above both of them and while he's not worried, he knows that if Merlin doesn't stop it soon it'll strike. But he recognizes the eye flash and he lingers back, anxious to see what will happen next.
Except...no. Nonono, he feels the heat before seeing it and there's a startled yelp as he jerks back and stumbles along the sand, mostly trying to get away from the heat and the open flame. He knows this is an effective way to kill the snake. He knows that, but at the same time he has to wonder...this is what it's like to watch something burn? Is this what happened to Tadashi those times?
The idea makes him sick, really, and it's dizzying to watch as the skin of the snake sizzles and pops under the flames and it eventually becomes so engulfed that it doesn't even resemble its original form, still trying to desperately escape. He takes a deep gulf of air to pull himself out of his own reverie but when he yells at Merlin his eyes are still shut.]
Dude, enough! [The almost cheery victory music is remarkably inappropriate right now, but it's a sign that the snake sure is dead.]

[ It could be... but ah. ]
Usually. Have you been to the pleasure district?
[ Ah. Now he's practically admitting to his shady side life........ ]

[ Now he just looks perplexed. He takes a step back, then another. More to gauge her reaction to it. ]
[ It is good for his ego, though he's also trying to not get too smug until they're out of the desert and safe again. It's because Hiro is behind him that he doesn't really know what's happening until it's too late and that enough! rips through the air. He fire starts to die down, but it's very much alive. His hand drops as he turns to look back at Hiro, worried because he expected Hiro to be right behind him, not on the floor with his eyes squeezed shut.
He steps towards him, trying to block the now dead snake that's lying limp on the ground. The fire is slowly starting to disappear, but it won't be instantaneous. ]
...Sorry. [ He reaches to pat Hiro's shoulder then, not knowing what was going on, but not wanting him to think he's doing this on purpose. ] Turn with me, alright?

[Wizards should be able to drink like a boss.
But Merlin why are you a bad liar though?]
Hmmm, is that a fact? If you say so, I'm not going to doubt you. [He's truly not even bothered.] I do hope that you'll eventually find something to entertain you around here, of course.

it's complicated. i don't want to write it all out. [ /lazy ]
but magic works differently over there, it's more difficult to use. if we end up somewhere like that again without a choice i want to be prepared
