The black-haired man with wild eyes threw his cards down on the table. The man across from him laughed. "Not a very good hand, that?"
"You cheated" Myrto said darkly.
"Please, friend, people get unlucky. Come on, another hand." He reached for the bet on the table. In a flash, Myrto had grabbed that hand, digging his nails into flesh. The dealer pulled away with a cry of outrage. "What is wrong with you, man?"
"You cheated."
"I did no such thing!"
"Oh, really?" Myrto grabbed the cards, spreading them out. He pointed at various unique markings on the backs of different cards. They would have been nearly impossible to notice for someone not experienced in card trickery. "Explain that."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Without warning, Myrto upheaved the table, flipping it entirely and landing it on the man. As he scrambled out from beneath it, Myrto stabbed him in the hand with a spear.
