There isn't really time to confer with Childermass or even contemplate any of the million things he could be thinking about right now, but upon hearing several cries of 'Peridot' where the bulk of the action is taking place, well, he may not understand what's going home, but he can understand what Yuya's saying, and it makes intuitive sense, somehow.

It's only three words that he has the energy for, and it's amazing he gets them out at all, considering the damn state his vocal cords are in.

"Take us home!" he calls out, wincing with the effort, and he curls over Strange's body, looking up at Childermass and manages in a much softer hiss, "Stay close!"

A quick gesture of his hand sends an orange shield bubbling up over him and the thoroughly unconscious mage -- and the changeling (no, magician) as well.
