NIKI
Listening with typical good-natured interest as Kaisel walks him through demonic attachment styles, Niki gives his coffee a slow stir despite taking it with neither cream nor sugar. "Well, I am an orphan, so the odds are slim that my parents had anything to do with it," he says. "Though summoning is literally one of the magics I possess, so that might be problematic."
A laugh escapes him to hear Kai's whimsical nickname for sand, and he inclines his head in a soft nod of agreement. Flora might not be the girl of his dreams, but he can well imagine being able to put up with most things to have what the soldier clearly has with her.
"That is kind of you to say so. She has certainly been a good friend to me," he murmurs, handing back the orb and lifting his cup for a sip of coffee at last. "And you know, that is quite right. I think people too often get caught up in what are meant to be big moments, and they miss a lot of good along the way while waiting for them." He tilts his head at Kai, expression softening as if seeing him in a different light. "You are very astute, you know."
