NIKI
"I would not hide bodies, Theea," Niki says with that dry amusement lacing his words once again. "I would dispose of them respectfully, and occasionally in places where no one else would think to look." Whatever discretion is required, you understand. The smile on his face, at least, suggests that he's joking, though really, who knew what might have become of him had he finished his apprenticeship at the mortuary.
Nodding his understanding at her remarks about her mother, Niki gives a light shrug of his shoulders. "People have an annoying habit of being multi-faceted," he agrees. "If they were only one way, it would be easy to judge them, no?" Alas, not so much. "And I imagine most of the loneliness may be as a result of where you ended up. The village is busier every time I visit - you ought not to feel so isolated there."
Glancing out over the side of the cart to watch the world blur by, he's drawn back at the nudge to his foot and grins ruefully. "Perhaps," he says, with the air of a parent saying we'll see. "It depends on where it is hosted, I suppose."

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
