[A quick answer, though he doesn't ask it in return since he can see the Siren getting ready to open her mouth once more and he's already put two and two together here. After all, there are plenty of youkai from folklore he's all too familiar with who function in similar ways.]
—I can't say that it will help just yet, but try to keep your ears covered.
[Easier said than done considering they don't conveniently have two sets of arms - one for fighting and one for blocking out the song of the siren. He doesn't have a weapon on him just yet, anyway, though. It's instinct that has him crouching and covering his ears as soon as the Siren picks up from the song's lull, continuing to sing to the icy shard cradled in her arms.
On the plus side, dampening the sound is enough that he's not completely incapacitated like he'd been before. But wow! He sure would like that extra set of arms now! He'll glance over toward Hayame to see how she's managing.]
