NIKI
Practically with one foot on the forest path by the time Flora clarifies her motives - and reminds him that he's the one who had given her his business card - Niki falls to a halt and lets out a soft, apologetic laugh which luckily doesn't send him into another coughing fit. "No, it is alright," he says, gesturing for her to come and join him on the trail. "It has been a long few days, and I am clearly not feeling myself. I had forgotten all about that." Perhaps his memory isn't as good as he'd thought it was.
"At least the Mathair brought me to you quite quickly," he adds. "The woods have led me on quite the detour lately, sometimes lasting for hours." Nodding to the snowy trail ahead, he furrows his brow. "I was going to the village, but if I gently suggest that we go back to my home, I may be able to work on the mageglass for you today?" Gently suggest because perhaps the Greatwood will take pity on them if he does that.
"I do not want you to have to be here longer than necessary, especially if Torchline is as warm and welcoming as you say," he adds.
