@Volterra 

Slyly, or what is his best approximation at slyness, Hubris slinks from the tree. He glides towards on bronzey wings, and tries desperately to get the red's attention. A look of LISTEN, I'VE DONE WHAT I CAN. WHAT IS TAKING YOU SO LONG, is seemingly etched in large and worried letters across his face, an unmistakable look of concern and panic welling up in his eyes like a pitcher which is about to overflow. There is little more of this that the dragonling can take, and it occurs to him that maybe if he gauges Volterra's eyes out, he might have a chance.

To you, that might sound extreme. But can you only imagine what a fight between the two giants might look like, if Volterra actually fought back? Which surely he would, if he learned the truth.

When he learns truth, Hubris thought bitterly to himself, wanting to blame this situation on Verzes but knowing that was not fair. This was Isopia's fault, and although the bronze wished the red could get through to Volterra, if he couldn't, the blame would still be on Isopia.

Unmoved emotionally by the embrace of their flesh, finally together once more, Isopia stood with a placid stillness as Volterra seemed to be making up his mind. Would he leave her to this task on her own, now that her dragon had demonstrated such hostility? She supposed she wouldn't fault him for that. Unless he was into that sort of thing. And perhaps he was, she didn't know.

She didn't know him, after all.

"Alright." She agreed with a small spark of surprise in her academic tone, as his deliberation seemed to come to an end.

Isopia's golden eyes watch as Volterra moves passed her, suddenly up heaving a tree by its roots. It is a far greater demonstration of clear earth magic than she has seen in a while. Very few that she has met have magic to rival her own, or that is so rooted (literally ) in her Father's domain. Something about seeing his magic both sets her on edge (if he thinks he knows her, simply because he possess her father's magic, he is wrong), and incites a feeling of comfort at the familiarity of the magic.

Isopia realizes that there's something like awe on her face, and quickly she tries to disguise it by coughing slightly and considering how she might contribute. Her earthen structures could probably chip away at the boughs, but perhaps dealing with them directly might be better. Closing her golden eyes, Isopia focuses on the draconic shape that is dormant inside of herself, and lets it take hold. Her limbs elongate and narrow. Hooves fuse into clawed hands, and her wings stretch from her back into thin and leathery shapes that retain the same markings previously on her furred body. Her maroon tail stretches into something prehensile as her muzzle flattens and her eyes turn almost feline in shape.

"Perhaps I'll be more helpful like this." Isopia offered, her voice now much deeper and leathery sounding as it escapes her toothy lips. She says this partially so that he knows that it is still her, and that she hasn't been replaced by a dragon. Jumping into the sky, Isopia glides upwards towards the boughs unmoved as of yet by Volterra's magic. With wings beating, she takes hold of one with her hands (silently marveling and how dexterous these appendages were, compared with her hooves), and begins to work the bough left and right to try and dislodge it.

Hubris, meanwhile, still had his gaze locked on Volterra and Verzes. He hadn't completely given up on the idea of scratching out Volterra's eyes, but was actively trying to think up a better plan if this all went sideways.
