Jiu doesn't respond to the warning - not aloud, at least; it should be a given that he'll ensure the civilians remain safe and unharmed.

But the dulled storm is still a storm nonetheless, the roars and blinding flashes of light enough to make him squint, frowning in grim determination as he tries to focus his attention on the other passengers over the elements.

By the time they finally break into safety, Jiu's ears and tail have popped out again, a fact he chooses to ignore. Does he get off the dragon though?....No. No, he's still sitting there watching the others go, legs casually hanging over one side like he might disembark at any moment. "...It all seems somewhat pointless, this."

The comment is a quiet one, casual - he honestly doesn't care if Jingyi hears or not.
