NIKI
"Please, do not trouble yourself," Niki begins automatically, before he realises that this is perhaps the first person he's met who has shown a genuine interest in what he does - and has a similar approach, too. "But I suppose if you do see any literature about it, I would be doing myself a disservice not to take you up on it." Smiling and carefully setting the bird back down in the snow, leaning heavily on his cane to do so, as he straightens he has to take a moment for the wave of dizziness to pass.
"Thank you," he says, gently inclining his head; imaginative is one of the more complimentary things he's been called, for certain. "And thank you for the offer, but I actually have business in the village," he explains, gesturing to the hustle and bustle before them. "Though I may go to that tea house first to thaw out." And catch his breath, and perhaps get a bit of energy back. He doesn't say that much, but he doubts he needs to.
