Look, if Bill Nye had to deal with ornery animals with super powers, he'd get tossed around the room a few times too.
"Oh, no, nothing like that." He approaches the very edge of the water, holding out his burned hand to steady himself. "Careful, the mud here is slippery. Don't fall."
He looks down at the wrapped up star in his hand, considering where to put it while he takes care of his hand. He considers giving it to Amber -- and he's sure it'd make her happy to hold it -- but he doesn't want to risk her burning herself. So in the end, he just drops it in his labcoat pocket, but the glow penetrates through even that, though much dimmer.
"I just need to soak my hand in this water for a while." It'd be even better if it was running, but they can't be picky; the important thing is to cool his hand off so there's no further damage. With that, he kneels by the water's edge, leans over, and thrusts his hand in the water. The edge of his sleeve is getting a little wet, but he doesn't mind. It wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to his labcoat, even here.
