NIKI
Asta's cane probably packs a punch both on its own merit and when considering the man swinging it, let's be honest. Niki, on the other hand, would be out of breath from lifting his crutch as a weapon, and he's got the added downside of actually needing it to walk. Anyway.
Never having been called darling in his life (he doesn't think), his brow does furrow ever so slightly, and whilst he's absolutely used to being scrutinised by the people he meets, however subtly it might be at times, he doesn't think he's ever been appraised quite so much like a piece of meat. Gently clearing his throat as if to disrupt the unease that settles over him, he drags his gaze away from the cataract and back to the Ancient.
"I mean - are you sure? The woods really can hold a grudge, and I would not want you to spend more time than necessary trying to reach the village." Case in point, it's been well over an hour for Niki already, and he's feeling the cold right into his bones by now. The mote of fire that drifts around the other man is incredibly clever, on that note, and he watches with open interest as the halo weaves its way through Asta's hair and horns.
