stay your pretty eyes on course
Niki has learned a thing or two on his trip down to King's End. For instance, there are apparently many different ways to sail a skyship, and Melita's style is considerably different to Flora's. Not better or worse, you understand, but... well. If the necromancer steps out onto the Boondocks with a few premature grey hairs, he's sure Ludo would approve either way, so the Honeybee is doing her demigodly duty regardless.
Still, he's got the trip up towards the House of Midnight to recover his nerves from flying and to let them start to hone an edge all over again as he realises what he's done and why. The day is sweltering - too hot for long sleeves and buttoned collars, but that doesn't seem to stop Niki, though the fabric is light and breathable at least, his shirt slightly over-large and in a shade of soft green.
The cart pulls to a rumbling stop outside the brothel (and he supposes he can thank Asta and the Dusklight for not immediately feeling completely out of his depth) and the necromancer hops down, cane in one hand and a parcel in the other. He ought to have just mailed it, he tells himself for the umpteenth time, and yet as he ascends up and into the house, he's asking the greeter if the proprietor is at home nonetheless.

I guess I never really faced my fears before
