For Leia, at least, it was somewhat matter-of-fact. One couldn't very well capture the other player's queen if their own was captured in this game, so both had equal priority. But she caught the twinkle in his eye and sensed the amusement behind it. There was something unusual about her reply that had pleasantly surprised him. She made note of that as they continued.
She nodded slightly, showing that she was indeed following. "So one side starts with a distinct advantage over the other," she said. "Interesting twist. And one that adds an additional layer of strategy to the game, the same way a randomizer does in sabaac." She made a mental note to ask more about those jewels he kept mentioning later; she wanted to know more, but didn't want to get off track.
"Are all the other pieces considered 'male' then?" Some of them seemed vaguely more 'masculine' to her eye, but it was a bit hard to tell with chess pieces. "And what sort of abilities does the Queen grant to the other pieces? Does it vary depending on the piece, or is it the same no matter which one is using them?"
