"Oh, I - of course," Niki says immediately, taking Sunjata's comment as a polite dismissal. Which, given his drooping wings, ash-streaked face and otherwise forlorn appearance, the necromancer ought to have read the room much more quickly than that. And yet, as he goes to back off and the rain begins to fall in earnest, he can't help but force himself to stay put. Looking the way he does, Sunjata almost reminds him of their first encounter in the Greatwood, and it has Niki biting the inside of his cheek not to let etiquette win this round.
"We do not have to talk about it," he says eventually, of the inferno-shaped elephant in the room, "but would you like a cup of coffee or anything? I was just going to the Sunbean for breakfast. It isn't far." Visible from where Sunjata is slumped on the bench in fact, Niki angling himself slightly towards the cafe. "Or I could bring you something out, if you do not want to go anywhere."

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