[With a stranger, it may not be very controlled at all. Risk is taken, and she has little in the way to defend herself.
But then, she never had it, with the whip; its primary means of defence was offence. So that, ultimately, is what she has to do. For she would not be able to whip him in time, even enough for him to back off. The length is too much. But the handle...
Caren turns it about, and just as he's charging her with his shield, she makes to slam the handle down, onto his thigh. She fully expects to go flying, to fall and hurt. But that's all right. She's used to this. A few hurts go a long way for a practice session. ]
