NIKI
"...Alright," Niki says softly, a hand reaching up to rub at the back of his neck. "Thank you for thinking of me, though. And you know, you could always move to the Greatwood instead." His smile is perfunctory at best, the boy knowing it just as likely for Flora to move north as it is for him to settle in the islands, and he lets out a long sigh.
"But listen. I am not going anywhere until the end of the season either way, and it has only just begun. So do not go thinking I will be disappearing on you any time soon," he reminds her, leaning in to give her a gentle nudge with his elbow. "And anything can happen between now and Flowerbirth. Perhaps you will find yourself inundated with advisors from elsewhere."
Gazing up at the sky now, as if he can squint out Stormbreak far in the distance, he tilts his head. "I have never been up there either, you know," he says of the region. "Perhaps we can take a trip and visit your friends and your brother, before I return to the woods."
