NIKI
Pointedly not thinking about how much he'd like to get to the village, as if the woods might sense his eagerness and take them on yet another wild goose chase, Niki inclines his head back to the Ancient. "It is nice to meet you too, Asta. I should have guessed the Hollowed Grounds from the fire," he admits. By the fire he really means the fire, the horns and the tail that mark him as one of the Grounds' many Ancients, but he hasn't lost quite that much decorum yet.
Feeling better already for the heat radiating out from the fire in Asta's hand, as well as being back on one of the trails leading away from the Cataract, Niki nods openly enough. "I do, yes. Born and raised here, for my sins," he says with a wry smile. "It was a rough time when the void had taken over, but the Fae have their ways of keeping safe. I do not live far from the village - normally, anyway - so I suspect I was able to benefit from them."
