NIKI
"The Fae have kept a surprising variety of shops and stalls in the village, considering how closed off it is," Niki agrees; indeed, he has never felt as though he was particularly missing out on anything by not leaving the Greatwood. Then again, having never left, he has no idea what he might be missing, so he might not be the best judge. Either way, with luck his new companion will find plenty of things to satisfy his sweet tooth.
About to do just that, Niki does halt on the way into the familiar sounds and smells as Asta steps to one side; curiosity has him following his gaze at the very least, and as the bleached bone of the luxere is revealed courtesy of the butcher's ball of flame, he cocks his head to the side. "I wonder what happened to it," he says, gesturing as well to the other creatures - a small sparrow, it looks like, and a red squirrel recently passed. "And to them."
Realising the other man means to break the antlers free, Niki can't stop himself as he lifts his cane to gesture to the joining of the antler to the skull. "This looks as if it is a weak spot," he says. "If you would like to try there. Do you collect these sorts of things?"
