@Volterra YOUR MOVE. Lemme know if I should edit the PP <3

Now it was Isopia's turn to draw up short. Unless emotions were being talked about, Isopia was usually pretty good and piecing together arguments and understanding what others were saying. At the very least, she'd never felt so entirely out of her element and perplexed as she did now.

Was he having some sort of mental break?

Was she?

What else could possibly explain the dissonance that seemed to scream between them. Isopia's perplexed golden eyes watched Volterra's lips as he said things like, what does that mean for us and I spoke to your father, and the child. It was like there was some sort of spell cast on him, such that he took her to be someone else. Or was there instead some sort of enchantment on her, that made her misconstrue what he was saying? Isopia's mind walked a narrow path between thinking him to be insane, and wondering whether or not she was.

The demi-goddess took her time answering, finding no real mental footing in this conversation no matter how many times she let his words rattle around in her brain. Originally, she had thought she had been correct in her assumptions, especially when he mentioned the fight. She even wrote off his mention of his role in it, figuring that perhaps the political ripples of her actions had extended far farther than she had thought. Her mind even began to reconcile the notion that he would visit her Father - he was the God of her home afterall, was respected by many and was a keeper of peace - as an act that might be fitted into the narrative she was creating, but then it all fell apart. 

Isopia's mind reached out for Hubris, trying to peer into his thoughts to try and understand what was going on, when the dragon suddenly screamed by. Isopia's mouth followed his trajectory in an O of surprise, her golden eyes wide as she followed his bronzey flight. 

"What-" She said almost jerkily, moving forwards unconsciously as if physically tethered to the small flying creature. He angled himself up to the high boughs of the trees, and at once, thrust his leathery body into them. Dead branches and acorns the size of large stones tumbled from the sky, falling onto Volterra and Isopia. Although the demi-goddess didn't cry out in pain, she did emit an unexpected grunt of surprise as she nimbly darted sideways, colliding with Volterra. As soon as her shoulder touched his own, a white flash went through her body and mind. For a moment everything was blinding, and hot, and cold. A memory darted through her, like a ghost, before disappearing entirely and leaving only the mundane sensation of his muscular shoulder against her own. Isopia's face moved towards his, surprise and awkwardness written upon her deathly-marked features, but before she could say anything more, another tirade of pine-cones, branches, and even a bird's nest fell from the skies.

"HUBRIS." Isopia shouted, trying to glance upwards, but wary that more falling projectiles might be coming her way. Tentatively Hubris poked his head out from a thick copse of leaves, wondering if he'd provided a suitably bizarre enough distraction to get Volterra and Isopia off of their current conversational trajectory. He trilled an apologetic sound, and then disappeared back into the tree.

"I'm...sorry." Isopia mumbled, though it was unclear if she meant because she had bumped into Volterra, or because Hubris had just acorn-bombed them. "He isn't normally like that." She continued, quad-horned skull shaking slightly with confusion. Her golden eyes scanned the tree, but she saw no sign of the bronzey face that she knew so well. 

But, to his credit, she was thankful for the distraction. Perhaps whatever spell had been cast on Volterra - or on her - would have been broken.
