NIKI
Having determined enough of the powder's composition to satisfy his curiosity, Niki is about to finally toss it onto the fire when he spots the movement of someone through the various braziers and torches and bonfires, making a beeline for his lonely camp. Nevertheless, it's with a polite smile that he welcomes the woman - Ancient, he can see now - to his campfire, gesturing for her to go ahead and join him.
Only she doesn't just do that, she plunges her hands and wrists straight into the naked flame, and Niki blinks his interest to see an Ancient's fire resistance in action up close. "I bet," he says with a ready nod. "At least there are plenty of fires to go between." He picks up his flask, offering it out to her. "It is only coffee, but you are welcome to some if you would like. It is still hot."
