Isadora's calmness

The annoying whip came again, snapping through the air like a serpent striking its prey. Isadora twisted her body at the last moment, narrowly dodging its bite, and reached out to catch the end.

But just as her fingers closed around it, the woman on the other end released her grip, letting it go without resistance. A cowardly yet strategic move — she backed down just enough to keep herself safe, leaving her comrades to exploit that brief moment of distraction.

But Isadora was not about to let her get away with it.

With a sharp flick of her wrist, she swung the loose whip like a lasso. The handle twisted around the torso of a nearby assassin, jerking him off balance. No time to hesitate. She yanked him forward with brutal force, his body stumbling helplessly toward her.
