NIKI
Following her gaze over her shoulder - and feeling relieved despite himself to see that it isn't in a direction he's been yet, because if nothing else at least the sights will be new - Niki smiles and shakes his head politely to the stranger. "That is quite alright, unless you also have business in the village," he assures her. "I am not the one doing the misdirecting. Sometimes the woods take pity on me, and sometimes they play their games. Hopefully if I go the way you came, they will realise that I do still intend to get where I am going at some point today."
At her introduction Niki straightens up further, offering her a polite nod that would almost be a quick bow if he were in a better state for it. "Good to meet you, Maea. I am Niki - I was born here," he replies. "How are you finding it so far? I know it is not nearly so busy as a lot of other places, but I like to think it has its charms."

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
