NIKI
"And break a perfectly good cane? You are not important enough to merit that kind of violence," Niki replies smoothly, despite the fact that they likely both know that the act of swinging said cane will leave him out of breath at the very least. "Ah, well far be it for me to go against the majority, Vesper," he says, his accent curling around his name.
What he doesn't expect is the spill of assumptions on the other man's part, Niki nodding earnestly along and raising his eyebrows as if putting on a very animated show of listening to Vesper tell him about himself. "Mm, I do apologise. Occasionally I find it difficult to orient myself in a conversation with somebody who is not burdened by intelligence," he says with a rueful nod.
But with barbs exchanged and Vesper getting to his point, Niki takes a moment to consider before inclining his head once more. "A simple enough concept," he says, this time without the malice of calling the other man stupid. "I do not have anything like that currently that I could adjust, so it would be from scratch. How long are you in the Greatwood?"

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
