NIKI
It is far from an easy task to pick up a cane when you kind of need it to get around in the first place, but by now Niki is a dab hand at the little jokes life plays on him, and its with a soft and determined frown on his face that he manages to snatch the crutch back up into his fingers. Huffing out a relieved breath and leaning on it perhaps a touch more heavily than before as he straightens up, he brushes his dark hair from his face and glances back to the surrounding woods just in time to see a pale figure approach.
Having to do a doubletake for a second - people seem to move far too quietly in the woods for his liking - Niki nonetheless soon realises that she (probably) doesn't mean any harm given the greeting that spills from her lips. "Hallo," he responds in kind. "I do not suppose you could tell me which direction you came from, by chance? I am trying to get to the Sidhe Village, but the woods oftentimes turn me back on myself."

my body's on the line now, I can't fight this time now
I can feel the light shine on my face
I can feel the light shine on my face
