NIKI
"Good to... know?" Niki says with a slow raise of an eyebrow. Inns he can understand - he's staying in one at the moment after all - but given how pitifully little of an impression he's made as someone who spends ambitious nights at brothels, he's quite unsure what to do with the rest of her sentence.
Shaking his head defeatedly the second she fixes him with skeptical blue eyes, Niki scoffs and runs a finger around the rim of his glass. "I cannot recall if you ever told me directly, but I am not surprised by it," he says - the days when he was in awe of Flora's dozens of divine connections are over, alas, because they just keep coming. "I was just being polite, though. He did not seem well at the time."
Pushing away his coffee now that the ice has melted and turned it more watery than enjoyable, the boy casts his eyeline across the boardwalk and the glittering sea beyond it, looking like a pale and sickly tourist at best. "The Cordillera?" He turns back towards Flora sharply, brows drawing together in a frown. "I cannot say that it is high on my list of sight-seeing destinations, no. Why, do you need someone to go with you...?"
