NIKI
"Your guess is as good as mine." Niki smiles out from beneath his hood. "Luckily I think these are all just beets and carrots, so they came from the mud originally. Better than nothing, if they did fall out." It isn't as if they were any cleaner where they started. Still, he peeks across at the wagon driver (who has no interest in listening in on their conversation when he could be concentrating on getting the hell out of the woods) before glancing back towards Theea and settling back once more as best he can.
"It was character building," he says dryly, and the hint of amusement in his voice suggests that this is something he'd been told about the job rather than something he'd figured out on his own. "But I agree that I do prefer what I do now. You might see a few of my creations in the market stalls in the village. But if not, I can show you some, if you do want to help carry a few supplies back one day."
As for her father and her mother's search to revive him, Niki's brow furrows. "It has been done before," he says slowly. "From what I have heard. But it is no easy feat. One of your long lost uncles possesses the ability I believe, but only if the person has been gone for less than a day." Which, based on Theea's words, is absolutely not the case. "That is my understanding of Mort's halls though, yes." He smiles. "And there is always the Festival of Lights."

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
