Jiao absolutely was being condescending, enjoying every second she got to spend in the sky above Loren. This was how she wanted the Fae to appear to humans; almost divine beings residing in the clouds, deigning to show them a scrap of attention sometimes.
When Loren began to summon the Pegasus, though, it was clear she was surprised. She had so expected the man to admit defeat, slump his shoulders and beg for a chance to achieve her kind of magic. That a human could so easily bring a magical creature to life was impressive, not that she would ever admit it. Tight lipped, she watched the wings and hooves appear, then slowly raised her head as Loren soared up.
Just as she was about to sourly admit he had impressed her, she noticed the panic in his eyes, the way he was clinging onto the horse. Perhaps surprisingly, she did not laugh - instead she flew up to be next to him and asked, trying to cling onto the Pegasus' mane and stop it: "Are you okay!?"

Baby it doesn't matter
