Isabel froze when William suddenly caught up with her, snagging her by the wrist in order to stop her from moving any further away from the briefing room. She turned around, finding herself unable to look away from his gaze once he started to tell her just how confident that he felt in her, and about how she hadn't let them down before. As he finished up his statement, amending a statement which could potentially be interpreted wrongly, Isabel's eyes started to flicker with just a bit more life behind them before she took a small step backwards and nodded. Truth be told, this sort of interaction was rather new for her, since up until this point none of her conversations with either of her allies had been particularly personal. "I..." she straightened up, creeping gently back into her shell a little bit as she spoke in a bit more of a neutral tone. "Understood, sir."<br/><br/>Opening up was hard for Isabel, she had lived her entire life with her heart and her mind closed off to other people, so talking about such personal matters, and being so expressive, with any other person in the world was a relatively difficult task for her. "I won't let you down again."
