NIKI
Niki is already stepping back, bumping into the gentle cage of Flora's presence, and though he doesn't respond directly to her, the sleepy sigh that exhales from his lips is enough of an indication that he's heard the words with or without their meaning. Tottering around, with her guidance he's able to get himself out of unintentionally dangerous territory, exiting the captain's once-upon-a-time room to haunt the corridor once again.
Only he's thoroughly gotten himself lost now, his hand reaching out for a wall that isn't as close as he expects it to be. Teetering to the left until he finds it, he accidentally collides with one of the (many, many) trinkets scattered along the hallways and shelving. It's a small statuette of a mermaid that he knocks, no larger than his fist, but evidently it's made of something metal, because it lets out a booming thud! against the floorboards that's loud enough to rival the cracks of thunder overhead.
Flinching and gasping as the noise jolts Niki into true consciousness, his body tries to take him away from it, but of course the moment he puts too much weight on his bad leg, down the fuck he goes.
