NIKI
"Careful," Niki says automatically as Theea's head bounces against the side of the cart. He winces his sympathy, peeping over the crates and sacks towards the driver. "Most are not keen to linger in Ludo's Woods, and the rain probably is not helping," he says. "Still, you would think he would lose half his cargo driving like this."
Smirking and shifting to make sure he's comfortable enough without being at risk of a concussion, Niki glances back to his new aquaintance. At her next question, as much as it might have been expected, his smile fades somewhat. "I was apprenticed to an undertaker for a few years," he explains. "But I never finished my apprenticeship. He died, and although I still live and work out of the mortuary, I do not perform those services. Nowadays I make my living through metalwork. Jewellery, trinkets, those sorts of things."
Wiping rain out of his eyes and shivering a bit as the full, soaking wet weight of his coat settles upon him, he frowns to hear Theea's story - and all the things she doesn't say. "I am sorry for your loss."

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
