Six months down, three to go.
Given that most of her normal activities (ex. war, drinking, picking fights) are off-limits, Mary Anne has set up shop in one of the smaller rooms of the castle. It looks like some sort of entertaining-guests-with-tea-and-gossip room; she's made it a reading-the-classics-to-her-child room.
"Sun Tzu said: the good fighters of old first put themselves beyond the possibility of defeat, and then waited for an opportunity of defeating the enemy..."

She watches Coira leave.
Only after the sound of the other woman's footsteps has quite faded does she check the safety on the gun hidden behind one of the small pillows beside her on the couch.
That done, she returns to her book.
"...but the opportunity of defeating the the enemy is provided by the enemy himself."
