[That's all the verbal input there is. It comes with a wash of what feels like panic, his eyes wide at that sudden flash of fire, and despite being told not to move... how can he not.
Ryan's reflexes kick in, the warning completely forgotten-- but there's nowhere to really go to escape the stream of flame in the short timespan he has to react. What ends up happening is completely and utterly undignified: there's a panicked flail as he accidentally tips backward instead, toppling right into the fountain.
John gets a good view of long, skinny legs flailing for another moment as he panics more and tries to right himself, which... just ends in him falling completely in. He's going to be soaked.]
