There's a series of crashes through the branches of Spike's tree as Jodie and Aiden make a rough landing. It's not even an intentional landing - the entity has absolutely no interest in stopping - but Jodie manages to wrap all four of her paws around a sturdy branch, and the surrounding foliage impedes Aiden's ability to flap properly. He still tries, but for the moment, Jodie has the upper hand. Or paw. Christ.
"Just give it a goddamn rest," she groans as Aiden shifts his efforts to the tail, thwocking it into the trunk of the tree in frustration. Then, "I'm not letting go, so you might as well try calming the fuck down for five seconds."
She's casting a baleful look toward the ground when she spots Spike, and then she huffs out a sigh. Great. Company. Her awareness sparks Aiden's, and he abruptly ceases in his attempts to take to the air again. Protect Jodie is still his primary goal (at least when it comes to threats besides his own panicked flailing). His tail rises in readiness, and he spreads his now-bedraggled wings in an attempt to look larger and more ominous.
The effect is somewhat spoiled by Jodie's expression, which is more of a frustrated pout than anything imposing. She has no idea what to say to the goat-man below, so she just frowns down at him from her branch for a few moments. "Hey," she finally says.
