[--well! the glow of the dragon's eyes widen in surprise as its target suddenly pops up high into the air, safely above the area of impact. he's going too fast to stop and make a tight turn--not without throwing off his flight and smashing into the trees, anyway--so he carries on exactly as he'd first intended to.
which means he pulls in his wings and rotates his body enough to not slam into the trunk of the tree, but he does rake his claws through the branches that had just been serving as Robin's perch. and then, the one small alteration to his original plan is that once he opens his wings again, steadying himself from the impact and picking up speed again... he lashes his forked tail just before he passes the tree completely.
his pair of tails and all of the stringy spikes hanging off the ends act like a flail, snapping to the side and shredding through the top of the tree. Robin might have been able to easily leap into the air like a bird, but he might not be able to land like one now.]
