It does make it seem like she is being tested, and like her power is being questioned. Yumara has no wish to be a dominant being, nor has she any desire for Salkeen’s respect.
Yumara believes in using her power when it is needed. She doesn’t like using it to show off how powerful she is or for the entertainment of others.
On a side note… Orion is essential to keeping Yumara locked in her mortal form. You could say keeping her locked in mortal form is one of his jobs as her Guardian. Not like a parent, but as someone that has been charged with watching over you. Right now Orion isn’t there to hold her power in check. So for the first time since being bound into a mortal body, Yumara has the ability to break free.
Right now Yumara is feeling off and that’s unsettling her a bit. She feels like she is being tested, which says to her Isaik doesn’t see her as being as powerful as she is. Also one of the reasons she hasn’t actually attacked Salkeen is because, she isn’t sure how it will effect Jericha. I’ve said countless times, to Yumara nothing is more important than Jericha.
