Stupid Question about Fencing [MA]

I had thought of the disengage as a DA, also and had run into the same predicament. I never really thought that a fencing riposte isn't a Riposte, though. I'm not 100% sold on the idea, but it's another avenue.

My experience with riposte was that the idea was to counterattack before my opponent had recovered sufficiently from his lunge to defend himself. That struck me as fitting the idea of a Riposte pretty solidly, although now that I think about it, that might fall under Counterattack, as well.

So might the sequence be Fencer A parries Fencer B one turn and then launches into a Deceptive Counterattack?
