NIKI
"Ah," says Niki as Flora explains, with the air of someone who has either understood entirely and knows better not to ask any follow-up questions regarding the Doubletake's endlessly tangled love life, or hasn't understood at all but has come to exactly the same conclusion anyway.
Not that it matters, because as it happens, said drama with Stormbreak's Commander seems to follow along exactly the same vein - that is, in that it's related to Flora's relationship - and the necromancer's brow starts to furrow in a slow, deliberate dawning that leadership is not the lofty and serious profession he once would have made it out to be. "...I see," he says slowly.
"So does this mean that Zavien and Stormbreak are now under threat from Torchline?" he wonders. "It does sound as though everything got out of hand." And suddenly the Greatwood - leaderless and free with only the Fae to draw borders around the wilderness - sounds like a really good place to be. "Either way, hopefully next time he will learn to separate personal and politics."
