As the rook takes her pawn, Ithi'Ka looks up at Kasumi, her faux amber eyes wide to study her friend's response as the king is placed in check.  She catches herself at this, suppresses her curiosity, and instead refocuses on the board... or, at least, appears to do so as she studies Kasumi for a moment.<br/><br/>Ithi'Ka then shakes her head softly, blinks very slowly before she speaks.  "I think that my friend has you distracted, Count Ilby."  She brings her knight, currently residing in the queen's third square, back to capture the rook.<br/><br/>((edit: added diagram))<br/>(http://imgur.com/4SmxF.jpg)
