NIKI
"Raw chicken and mango," Niki repeats slowly, trying and failing to hide the somewhat disgusted scrunch of his nose. "Hopefully not together. But, noted. I will see if I am able to successfully bribe her - you will be able to tell by the results of the backpack." Putting it on the little dragon is something he'll invoke Flora's assistance in personally, since he figures she's less likely to get her fingers frozen or bitten off.
Jumping a little at the sudden dramatics - and really, he ought to be used to them by now - and glancing pleadingly around the room as if the house might take pity and come up with the goods, when it stubbornly refuses to do as much, Niki is left smirking at Flora. Her declarations echo into the empty air, the boy cocking his head as if to listen for any response. And... wouldn't you know it? There is one.
It's the sound of the tea kettle faintly whistling from the kitchen.
"Do you think they would accept a tea bribe?" he wonders, raising his eyebrows. All signs point to yes.

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