[ There's naught much Hermes can do in the moment than stare. He's startled by the display of magic - the violence of it, to attack a living creature so directly! In its own habitat no less, to protect an invader of sorts. Hermes is the one out of line, not this poor beast, and Hermes is of a mind to chide him for it.
What he turns to see is anathema. That voice - and the immense aetheric skill accompanying it - belongs to none other than the most Eminent Emet-Selch. Though Kairos stole their memories of Emet-Selch's initial visit to Elpis, Hermes could never forget the lecture that followed. What greets him isn't a pillar of their society clad in black robe and red mask, but something Hermes can hardly describe. It's so... garish. His silver hair has been changed in a way that suits his current demeanor but doesn't fit his understanding of the man at all.
He stumbles backward, just managing to keep an eye on the creatures before them out of force of habit. He's been on the bad side of all sorts of creations before, but at the moment he's not sure which of the current lot is the bigger threat to him. ]
Are... Are you quite alright?
[ As jarring as Emet-Selch's arrival has been, they are still of the same world. Hermes doesn't know what changed Emet-Selch, but he can at least try to help. ]
