NIKI
"Should I ever find myself blind drunk on Torchline's shores, I will be sure to stop by the fountain before retiring to bed for the evening," Niki says; for anywhere else, though, he'll simply have to suffer or remain sober. (And the latter has worked quite well for him thus far, to be honest). Either he doesn't hear or opts not to respond to her remark about laps, Niki wondering quite when so many of his conversations revolved around booze and hookups, but putting that train of thought quite tactfully to one side for now.
As for his project with Sunjata, he lifts his coffee to his lips for another long sip, as if purposely leaving her in suspense, before responding. "Trinket boxes," he says matter-of-factly. "It was last Deepfrost after the Festival of Lights. He ran into me - quite literally - in the woods at the dead of night, and so I offered to let him sleep on my couch."
Watching the ice slosh around in his glass, Flora's sudden question catches Niki off guard, and he tilts his head towards her. "I do not think anything that makes you happy makes you crazy. It is not as though you are hurting anyone," he says plainly enough, offering her a small smile. "But then it is as you say, and I am not, by any standard, a relationship guru. But that is my opinion, if you want it."
