NIKI
"I am more equipped for an academic lifestyle," Niki says with dry amusement, a flicker of a smile crossing his lips, though his focus remains on the reanimated butterfly. A bum leg, gaunt body and altogether weak constitution does not a warrior make. "You are not wrong, of course, but I doubt I would be able to do much damage with a horde of butterflies at my disposal." More amusement, though the boy does add another potential experiment to his list - multiple reanimations.
Glancing from butterfly to Honeybee at the soft sound of her gasp, Niki has been half expecting to see her preparing to walk away, appalled by the nature of his magic. Instead, she holds out a hand, and with a pulse of magic and willpower, he has the insect flutter onto her finger. Its tattered wings are still bright and delicate, though it brings with it that same aura of cold. "That is what I said, the first time I succeeded," he intones. Wow.

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
