Leia listened as he explained the other pieces and how they moved, taking note of it as well as which were 'male' and which were 'female', nodding slightly at appropriate points to show she was following. At the last statement that 'Blood Male' was another term for a pawn, she quirked an eyebrow though. "Which term do you prefer?" she asked. "Probably best to agree on one before we begin."
"We'll go with pawns then, since that's what I'm more familiar with," Leia said. She was good at retaining new information, but one less thing to remember was always helpful in cases like this.
"Now, before we set up, are there any other specific rules or conditions that I should be aware of? For example, is pawn promotion done in this version of the game? And is it required that a player announce when they're putting the opponent's Queen under direct threat of capture the way it's required that a player announce that the opponent's King is in check in the version I'm familiar with?"
"I am not sure what you mean by promotion," he said, easily enough. But it is generally considered good play to inform the other when their Queen is in mortal peril."
