NIKI
Jumping at the sound of Flora's praise - Niki has been watching with intensity as the three demigods wrangle the crate into the house as if staring at their progress will ensure nothing goes wrong - by the luck of the gods it seems that they've managed it. Flashing her a relieved smile, he supervises and ensures the crate is placed in the correct room, and the rest, blessedly, seems to go by without an issue.
He doesn't expect to be told to go shopping, something which is evident from the blank look on his face. "Are you sure...?" He has barely begun to object before Mateo is trilling a stream of compliments to his sister, kissing both of her cheeks and then departing with a flourish. And as the others presumably do the same, Niki is carried along in their wake more than anything else.
Shopping in Torchline is a much different affair than in the Greatwood, as it happens, but he does return with a few items he thinks would suit for being a guest in Flora's barbie dream house. While Mateo breezes by with potted plants and a gorgeously patterned hammock and the promise that a stained glass hanging lamp will be on the way as well, Niki's procurements are a little more austere.
A set of good quality metalworking tools; a knitted throw in shades of blue and green; a plush footstool. Oh, and a windchime made of driftwood.
Within the new house, of course, Ronin's contributions towards the skylight are both a help and a hindrance, given how it puts he, Sunjata and Remi in close proximity with one another. The skylight is up and beautiful, don't get him wrong, but now he's sulking in a doorway and waiting to go home.
Mateo and Niki get items for their rooms! (Plants, a hammock and a stained glass lamp for Mateo; tools, a throw, a windchime and a footstool for Niki).
Ronin sulks but puts up the skylight.

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
