NIKI
"Orrrr," Niki says, his tone a hilarious fascimile of Flora's that's entirely ruined by his natural deadpan and his accent, "perhaps when I leave one of the spirits will hitch a ride back with me, and I will have some in my own home to remind me." He doesn't say it, but he'd not be adverse to such a thing in truth. Were he not so widely disliked by the gods by virtue of being abandoned, he might have already approached Ludo for help.
Hmming under his breath as if considering whether her words have merit, the sound hitches slightly as Flora leans into him; at first the casual touch had been something strange and awkward for a man used to living in solitude, but these days Niki has grown used to it - and yes, he'll miss it too. "Very well," he decides at last, as if his verdict on his own kidnapping is the final judgement on the matter.
Groaning, though, at the reminder of his sleepwalking shenanigans, the boy slouches against Flora a fraction and reaches for his coffee to blow on it and cool it down. "I will not miss that," he says. "I daresay there will be less pyramids of fruit in my future once I am back in a familiar setting."
As for Enzo, Niki is already nodding polite agreement before the Doubletake continues, and he freezes with his cup halfway to his lips. "And what is that supposed to mean?"

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
