[ How graceful her jump is catches Ryouma by surprise -- not that he doubted her whatsoever, more that he'd been expected a more conventional escape attempt. He smiles in admiration, giving her a little nod as he continues to put pressure on their foe.
Her little trick works like a charm, too, enough to make the horseman more than a little irate. He can't control his mount nearly as well with just one hand and now he has an extra body on board to deal with. His horse slows, pulling at the reins, the first sign of disobedience its show so far. The horseman twists in his saddle to swat at Izutsumi with his free hand.
Ryouma takes this moment to flank on his current blind side and strikes him hard and fast in the side with the hilt of his katana. ]
Jump on if you can!
[ He's putting a lot of trust in his own horse for this. ]
