Eira indeed was not spared Izuna's antics, but she also knew the importance of them. Unlike many she in general accepted all of the quirks of her peerage, finding them to help bind them together as family above all things. His words though didn't go without causing her raised brow and crossing her arms under her chest. "Whatever you say, you might also just hate it, and have it deter your naughty behaviors," she said as she very noticeably avoided mentioning Takumi in her statement. She still rather obviously felt strangely about this boy, and was already quite attached to him, though there was no obvious reason for this to be the case, even if one put out her like in general of Bishounen boys.
Maiko on the other hand, got to see how Takumi's abilities were playing out. And she was colored impressed by his ability to try and block an attack after so recently receiving one. "Freshly made, and with enough sense to try to do something about the follow up. Respect Yasakawa, but you're gonna have to fight back eventually. I mean, it's good to take a beating and all... but bouncing back is just as important," she said as the boy seemed to get himself back together at ground level and question his place as pawn. This made Maiko's brow raise. She'd been a member of Eira Gremory's peerage for the last three years, and never knew the young woman had any inclination of making a pawn at all. "Don't say it so weak, you sound like you're thinking about it too much. I'm a Rook and you think you should be too given your current disposition, but you don't really know what pawns do, huh?" she said firmly as she bounced on her toes, to be honest she wouldn't be surprised if the boy heard his piece was a pawn and thought himself some sort of sacrificial lamb. But from what she was told, as an Evil Piece, pawns were so much more than that. "Pawns special trait, is Promotion. You will have the ability to promote yourself to one of the higher pieces, with Buchou's permission or in enemy territory. As such you should have base level skills in all possible attributes you could choose to be," she said as she moved forward once more this time aiming a swinging kick with her left leg into the young man's right side with enough force to send him flying. "Basically, Buchou made you and put her faith in your ability to grow to be whatever you wanted. Clutch position~" she said. Such an explanation made Eira's eyes widen, she didn't think her Rook had such insight about her, surely she'd have expected such a thing from Izuna or even Youmu given they knew how she operated.
