Dark Lightning (Thunder And Lightning)
“Scissors cut paper. Two out of three. Hurray for me!
Someday, when we’re old and gray, I’m going to give you a gift, twin. You have a tell. You know what a tell is? It’s some sort of tic that lets your opponent know what’s in your poker hand, or what your hand is going to do in our little game. In poker, maybe you sniff loudly when you’ve got something good. Maybe your eyelid twitches.
On two, your other hand telegraphs what you’re going to choose. That’s your right hand as, being left-...handed, you play with your left. Two fingers will twitch when you’re about to show scissors, four will twitch when it’s paper, and your hand doesn’t move when it’s rock. I let you win the first one, but I knew what it was going to be.
I’ve known this about you for years. I seldom use it. You’re not stupid, you would catch on soon if I won all the time. So I don’t bother looking when it’s small stuff, like who has to do a chore, or who gets first pick out of a box of donuts.MoreLess
