[SE] is it lucky, lucky you?

NIKI

"Nobody - not even the spirits - actually want to see me in a sarong," Niki assures Flora, expression utterly deadpan, though there's amusement on his face as he taps his cane against his knee brace; it would not add much to the aesthetic in his opinion. "And I have been loosened up plenty, thank you very much, especially given how much exercise I apparently get trying to sleepwalk around this house."

He hadn't found his way back into any forbidden rooms, at least, but he has woken up down in the kitchen once or twice, and also at one point on a balcony holding a pineapple. Wisely, Niki didn't question any of it too much.

"Thank you, Flora," he drawls, nodding indulgently as he takes the part of her hero. "I have been told I have quite a lot of heroic traits, you know. Dark, flowing hair, piercing eyes, a unique physique. If you kick my cane out from beneath me I will briefly fly, also." In a purely downward trajectory, but still.

Turning to face the hall as well, he tilts his head and raises an eyebrow, as if expecting the house to cough up the goods now that Flora is calling it out on their shenanigans. "Do you suppose it is in one of the fireplaces?" he asks eventually.

my body's on the line now, I can't fight this time now
I can feel the light shine on my face
