NIKI
"That was rather the impression I got as well. He was nice enough, though. I believe he promised you some form of retribution for convincing him that I was a spectre, though." It only seems fair to warn Flora of any iron pendants that might be flying her way in the near future.

"Noted," he says, and if Kaisel had still been here, he might have made sure it sounded vaguely ominous, too. "I have heard tell that King's End can be quite spooky, yes. I imagine it must be teeming with spirits this season. Ludo's Woods have been especially animated since Longheat ended, too."
All the more reason for them to celebrate Ludo, he supposes, and he gazes at last at the array of fabrics and adornments she's brought. Sharp and shadowy has his eyebrows raising - particularly down at his oversized excuse of a red sweater - but he doesn't argue with Flora. "I feel as though a classic look may be appreciated if we are attending a masquerade for Mort's herald. It may not be too pleased if we deviate too much from its signature aesthetic. What were you thinking?"
