*walks closer to her - keeping his body language open and neutral - is very, very thankful that he's immortal - speaks in a calm, soothing voice*
I'm here because you're my friend, and I want to help. I've got something that will make you feel better...but it's not here yet. We have to wait a bit before one of my brothers brings it to me. I'm Hermes, my brother's Dionysus -- he has some experience with things like this. Okay?
I don't know much about either dragons or monkeys. I know my brother killed a dragon and tossed down at Delphi, at the Omphalos, at the navel of the earth -- and now the Pythia sits there and sees what has, and was, and will be.
The dark man? Ahh, yes...I've gone looking for Frank. I hope he'll be here soon.
*moves close to her and reaches out to lay a hand on her shoulder* Hey, hey, shhhh, shhh, it's okay. It was a long, long time ago...and it was a big dragon with scales and teeth. His name was Pytho - that's not the dragon you want, is it?
Hermes is thrown onto the ground and lays there stunned for a moment or two - he can't be killed but he can hurt for a *long* time. He starts to mumble - 'okay, okay, stupid move, very, very stupid move. Don't touch Shiva, don't touch the Kind-Lady. Where is that damned brother of mine...and Frank...either one would be good...really good...'
Yes, I like bats...bats are under my providence to protect. They cross barriers, between the land of the living and the land of the dead. I also protect turtles, roosters and hawks -- little sparrowhawks are mine.
Kind-Lady? Sweet-Lady? How can I help you?

You're not the dragon. Why're you here?

Oh. Okay. Experience with dragons? Or monkeys? I'm a paper monkey.
Where'd the dark man go?

No. no. Dragons... not no.
She frowns and rocks a bit, wrapping her arms around herself.
