Knight was a good choice for her, given her speed - and if she actually needs to get out of here, she will.
For now, though, they have something going for them, and as the Knight is pincered between them, she moves as she needs to to take it. An unfortunate side-effect of all of this is that the captured pieces seem to go so... still. So helpless. So like the Fishing Ham-
