When Iris came upon the scene, she almost laughed, having to bring her hand over her lips to muffle a giggle. It might have been insulting to some, but to her?

It seemed practical! It was exactly what she would do with a brigade of skeletons this size, among other things. If anything, she would be walking away from this with many new ideas for what to do once she could raise dead herself.

Suddenly, a glimmer hit her eye the faintest shadow of an idea as she stepped forth, tapping the bauble of her staff upon the floor, coughing. It was almost as if she was trying to get their attention! And she was!

Regardless of whether that was succesful or not, she would point her staff towards the walking dead, channeling her mana in a way akin to how she would do it to raise the dead. It might not seem like much to an outside viewer (bar, perhaps another necromancer), but she was trying to assert her own will upon the undead, to dominate them with her own magical prowess.

...That said, with her general inexperience and weak-ish magic in the grand scheme of things, she would be very unlikely to be succesful.
