"Which is strange, because that is not how you are at all," Niki remarks before he can help himself, resting a hand atop the closed lid of the box as if he can radiate some of the warmth from his palm down into it. But of course that isn't the way things work, even with the magic of Caido swirling all around them, and he sighs as he refocuses on Sunjata. "Mm, I suppose it is like living only most of the way," he says - or guesses, rather. "But you said you can fix it, if you wanted to?"
Blue eyes flick up, watching Sunjata's hand sweep against his neck and the faint, pale scar there, and for a moment the necromancer nearly finds himself asking about it. Such has been their conversation so far - Niki peppering the demigod with questions to sate his curiosity - but of all things, he is not one to openly ask about another person's scars, and he bites the inside of his cheek as if to remind himself of where he is.
"I can see why you have been keeping your focus on your work," he says instead with a wry smile.

I guess I never really faced my fears before
