[Jean keeps up with the pace Cloud sets, supporting him with his fire based attacks and just general slashing of the gear. The eagle continues to hover over them, protecting their air ways from the worst of the poison while they work.
Of course, Jean is always ready to dash and grab Cloud if he needs to drag him into safety, but he also trusts Cloud to take care of himself so he doesn't constantly watch for the possibility. Instead, his focus is on the onslaught against the tendril-like arms that hurt Ayato.
It also feels good to be able to use his skills with the gear that both Mikasa and Levi have taught him. Cutting corners faster, using the wires more efficiently, just knowing the right time to apply more gas; he was good with the gear before, but now he was even better. His movements were smooth. Deadly.
But he was also impressed by the sheer strength that Cloud had. He had no fear with the blond by his side.]
