NIKI
"Fascinating," Niki muses, not at all put off by Flora's weariness and glancing back at her with overbright eyes once he has ducked beneath the rail - only to find her in what he swears is a reversal of their positions, such that he has to look around for a second to check he hasn't imagined the whole thing. "I am sorry - it is quite slippery," he says with a wince, leaning out and offering her a hand once she's close enough; it's the least he can do after she's helped him out, after all.
"I think perhaps that is enough excitement in the marketplace for one morning, don't you?" he says with a thin smile, assisting her in getting back on her feet however he's able before stepping back. "Do you need anything?" he adds, glancing over her with an gaze best described as clinical, as if noting injuries and bruises and guessing at their location where they aren't immediately visible.

my body's on the line now; I can't fight this time now
I can feel the light shine on my face
I can feel the light shine on my face
