As Isabella dodged to the side, the bird's lunge went far past her, landing just a few feet behind those currently working on the door.  Given that the two of them weren't surprised, they would likely be able to back off or at least raise a weapon in self defense.  The stone bird seemed to contemplate its targets, this time preparing to approach Isabella a bit more slowly.  Valiant's voice would enter the Princess' mind once more with a hint of urgency.

The bird seemed to start leaning backwards for a pounce again, this time going a bit more slowly (but controlled) towards the target that had previously dodged.
