NIKI
Niki is not in the habit of being late, but a heavy snowfall overnight partnered with an all-nighter to finish Vesper's request, and the boy does not find it easy to navigate his way back to the Sidhe Village, despite assistance from the woods to find him the most simple path. It's snowing again by the time he reaches the tea house, about fifteen minutes after Vesper arrives, shouldering his way into the place with the tinkling of a bell overhead.
Laden with a satchel over his shoulder and a case in the hand not braced against his crutch, it takes a few moments for him to free himself of his scarf and coat - both black - leaving him in a too-big grey sweater and with snow melting in his hair. Glancing around for the demigod and nodding at a familiar fae behind the counter, they direct him further into the tea house apparently without needing to guess who he is there to see.
(The Fae are nosy, what can he say?)

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
