Karya's mood turned exceptionally pleasant when she saw the fleeting look of astonishment on Lissandra's face.
With a roar from Volibear, the Immortal Storm—who had originally only been summoned by Ornn and Anivia to help deal with the Watchers—instantly turned red-eyed and charged straight at Lissandra.

This was exactly what it meant.
Karya was in a very good mood. Lissandra, by contrast, was extremely annoyed.
Although Volibear was still weakened, Lissandra wouldn't have much trouble dealing with him. But Volibear himself wasn't the issue. The issue was the two beside him!
The relationships between the demigods of the wilderness were rather delicate. Anivia was aloof and Ornn was taciturn, but at most, that meant they wouldn't come looking for trouble after Lissandra took the initiative and defeated Volibear. It didn't mean they would stand by and watch him get beaten right in front of them!
Karya had a good grasp of Anivia and Ornn's mindset. With Volibear flying into a rage like this, Lissandra would probably have to face three Old Gods at once!
