Know when to fold.
Zhi was folding. He'd outplayed her. She'd put her cards down, and now he was collecting. She'd get her own back. Maybe it would be a few days from now, maybe a few weeks -- hells, maybe longer, but it wouldn't be today. He had better weapons, better muscles, better. . .
he didn't have better night vision.
Something to keep in mind.
It was dark inside the storage. No windows, all exits shut. She didn't light a lamp, wouldn't unless he asked. Folded? Yes. But that didn't mean she couldn't stack her advantages for the next game.
She took a seat on a half-barrel, feet skimming over the ground, and rested her elbows on her thighs. Her hands were clasped, fingers digging in until she forced them to relax.
"Yer lead. I'll follow. What's th'plan?"
