[SE] is it lucky, lucky you?

NIKI

"There is," Niki confirms, at the very least, of the clay in the orangery. "I saw a broom attempting to sweep up some of the more dried parts of it. Without success." He doesn't need to mention that the broom was apparently acting of its own accord, because look at where they are. His smile is wry, however chaotic Kaisel's occasional addition to the household has become, because he'd much prefer to see Flora flustered and happy than how she has been lately.

Finding his pinky finger briefly stolen with the knowledge of a promise, Niki smiles faintly and nods to her. "I wonder if we will start a trend," he says. "Though if you think being a fashionable conjoined twin is how you persuade me into a sarong, you are mistaken."

Raising his eyebrows to hear that Kaisel won't be one of the people dive-bombing through a bonfire or streaking across the beach, Niki doesn't try to hide his soft laughter. "Ah, well if that is the case, perhaps we could risk the shoreline. You never know - you might run into your patriotic soldier-boy in the dark out there, patrolling."

Waggling his eyebrows, Niki almost casually points behind Flora at the same time, where wouldn't you know it, her missing torches are propped against the wall as though they've been here this whole time.

I can feel the light shine on my face
