NIKI
"Honestly, it would have made just as much sense for one of the spirits of the house to have whispered it to you," Niki agrees, smirking - no need for the trouble of an enchanted calendar when Flora has a house full of potential spies in the making. He sits up a fraction as she comes to join him on one of the stools, and were it not for the distant lash of rain and the continuing thrum of thunder through the foundations, he might have believed it were morning already.
"Ah, I see," he concedes, knowing better than to argue the effectiveness of sound effects with Flora - especially when it comes to a hypothetical ring-cane he has only just been informed he'll be receiving. "Well, I suppose nothing I can say will stop you, will it? So I will only ask that if my original cane could be incorporated into the gift, I would appreciate it." Even if the ring was simply made with wood and resin from it.
"And I did not give in. I accepted. After some... consistent persuasion."
