NIKI
Niki is just as surprised as Maea to find that, quite suddenly, there's a completed roof over their heads. Smiling and stepping back, he busies himself in securing the pulley and closing the two halves of the doorway, latching it tight whilst she goes up to fetch Liam. "This looks very good," he says quietly as he turns to admire the work they've put in.
He's exhausted and covered in sawdust with a few splinters to his name after the day, but there's no doubt that he feels a sense of pride in what they've achieved as well. Raising his eyebrows as the Ancient disappears, when she returns with the split log and the pen, understanding dawns on his face. "Of course," he says, stepping forward to accept the pen and to carefully etch his name into the log: Nikandr Volkov.
"There," he announces, stepping back and offering the pen out to Liam. "I think you have plenty to be proud of here."

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
