NIKI
"And I wouldn't have pegged you for a fool," Niki replies with an smile that, despite his best efforts, is becoming more genuine as the seconds tick by. "I suppose we are both disappointed in that respect." And Vesper all but seals the deal as he calls back to the first words they exchanged, the boy letting out a soft laugh that clouds the air before him (because it is Deepfrost, and it is chilly, even if the snow is only threatening to fall so far). Seeming to relax, even if he has to shift his weight thanks to standing still in the cold for an extended period, he considers the timeframe for Vesper's request.
"I could probably have them finished by tomorrow afternoon, if I put other projects to one side," he says. "Did you want any further input on the designs, or shall I surprise you?" Rather than cutting this time, Niki's question is a genuine one; as he had said previously, there might not be passion in the work he does, but there is a good amount of pride, and he'll not make Vesper anything he'd consider incomplete or sub-par.

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
