We had just beaten the last of the Mad Queen's guards, just outside her antechamber. As we had discussed earlier, I spoke in code to the Wizard.
"Why didn't you do that thing?"
"What?"
"That thing you can do, your trump card. Why didn't you use it?"
"If you can win without playing it, why waste it? Besides, the big battle is coming up."
I shrugged, and we went to take out the Queen.
She, of course, had been listening, and concentrated on the Wizard, thus allowing us to win.
Only thing better than a trump card is a bluff.
