At least the man in the technology was going away from Carlos. It meant he could unleash everything. The distractions provided were good - it meant that hopefully skull boy's attention was divided.

Most wizards had a school of magic they preferred - Carlos' was water magic based, with a touch of entropy, but for sheer outright damage in a fight? Nothing beat a blast of fire to the face - or in this case, up the nose-holes of the skull above him. The flying fighters were going to go for the larger distraction, but that was fine, it just gave him openings to try something else. There was a time and a place for a smart-ass comment, but without Harry or his other Warden friends there, he just had to wait for the right opening.
