NIKI
Things have been going well for Niki since his initial visit to Astaroth in the Grounds. He doesn't often make trips out here, granted, but given his collaborations with the butcher and the location of the Gilded Market's guildhall, it's worth the trip every few weeks to replenish supplies, take a few unusual commissions, and to broaden his own horizons.
Today finds him seated and busy, as per usual, the counter littered with small pieces of metalwork and the odd scrap of something, though it's unclear if even Niki would be able to explain it, and he's just putting the finishing touches on what one might swear is part of a piece of armour when Melita suddenly appears.
Jumping - because doesn't everyone when someone invisible decides to visible unexpectedly, the boy nearly drops what he's been making, catching it at the last second and raising his eyebrows at the fire-haired young woman. "Oh - Mel," he realises, conjuring a polite smile and promptly backtracking on inviting her to take a seat, because she already has. "Some items? Like what?"

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