NIKI
"I would say that truly winning would involve my not passing out, but then I have a vested interest in remaining conscious," Niki says, inclining his head to Flora as they make their unofficial deal. And as the Doubletake falls silent and thoughtful, the boy gives her all the time in the world to sit with her musings, carefully picking his mug back up where he's set it beside him and taking a slow sip.
Humming his agreement - that is the thing, indeed - Niki wraps his fingers around the mug to keep them warm when Flora is suddenly shifting gears and her aqua eyes pin back on him with a familiar curiosity. "Er..." He tilts his head. "Do you mean when I was apprenticed at the funeral parlour?" He assumes so, but there's something about the way she says working on them that could be applied to his magic, and he's not all that sure she wants to know the answer.
