[But she pulls her hands from her sword - at least not in the "I'm going to dash in there and just kill the damn thing anyway" sort of way. Tempering, slowing a bit. They'll do this the right way, and once one of them is in danger, they can do things the exciting way.
Maria is more than a little impressed at the way he grabs the sword from the piece and uses it as a weapon as he 'captures' the piece. The opponents move as she tries to figure out the best strategy for this... she tends to work a bit more on instinct than strategy, but she is a knight, she could probably figure something out.
As she ponders, she realizes it's their turn on the chessboard, so she moves, herself. As a Knight, she's allowed to jump her own pawns to attack an enemy. She does as such by using her Quickening - and her body disappears in a flash of whitish mist through one of their pawns, only to reappear atop an enemy Rook that had been sneaking its way up the side of the board. The Rakuyo snaps apart, and she dismantles the castle in two or three sparking strokes.]
If strategy is a strength of yours... then please, help out.
