NIKI
"Well as long as nobody tries to throw iron at me again, or salt my doorways, I suppose I may just have to learn to live with the disagreement." And by nobody he absolutely means Kaisel, evident in the slow raise of his eyebrows towards Flora and the twitch of a smirk on his face. At least their resident ghostbuster hasn't attempted to exorcise him any further since he's been at Wildering House (not to his knowledge, anyway).
Letting his fingers dance along the warm ceramic of his mug, he doesn't expect Flora's reminder of the strange but steady network of support he's managed to build in Torchline, and it has him relaxing despite himself. "Thank you," Niki says, quiet and earnest. "I will. And if you ever want to come to visit, my door is always open. I may even invest in clearing some space in the rest of the house for a guest room." Gasp.
He isn't surprised in the slightest to hear that she'll be throwing a party for Enzo's return, Niki managing an easier smile again now and nodding. "Of course," he says, taking up his mug again and, with a pulse of willpower, conjuring his cane into his hand. "Would you like to go and find one of the bay windows to watch the bonfires with me? I find it is much more pleasant on this side of the glass."

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
