Though with the current happenings, he couldn't help but utter out a single curse. Despite his best efforts, he couldn't do so much more than deflect a few bits of water droplets which means that Hikaru's makeup was washing away due to the rain which in turn means that she can easily be discovered. As luck would have it, because of course it would, a guard bumped into them and saw the arrows as clear as day. Hiroyuki had instinctively pulled away when he saw the fire burn - and the next thing he knew, Hikaru was gone from his side and was now zipping about while trying to avoid fireblasts.

It took him a moment or two as he ducked out of the way to compose himself. The guards were much too focused on his air bender companion and the others certainly weren't helping. They were more interested in watching them take down Hikaru rather than aiding her. Quickly surveying and taking in the battlefield, he could tell that the firebenders greatly outnumbered them if no one else stepped in to fight. But... but the firebenders were also weakened by the rain. Somewhat. There was a moment of indecision before he decided to do something about it. Hoping that what he could pull was enough, he focused on attempting to solidify the collected water droplets into ice before sending it forward to the guards. No matter what the outcome may have been, he quickly ducked and ran to avoid getting hit.
