NIKI
Drawing his cup of coffee in front of him properly now, Niki curls his fingers around the ceramic to enjoy the warmth radiating out from it. "It was?" He raises his eyebrows at that - whether Sunjata knows it or not given his memory, this is the necromancer's first time hearing the lore behind Korofi and its scars. "That is a strange way of looking at it - tattoos and scars are similar in a lot of ways, no?"
Not that it seems to have affected Sunjata regardless - he's got as much ink as he has scar tissue, from all that Niki has observed so far. (And no, we shan't be discussing how much he has observed or how detailed those observations have been, thank you). Still, as the Heartless continues, as he speaks of choosing to get rid of his scars, Niki can't help the slightly bitter slant to his smile as he gazes into his coffee.
"Would that it was so easy to do such a thing," he says; an advantage of demigodhood, he supposes. "Still, I can understand the sentiment, even if I am not sure I can subscribe to it. Sometimes scars do not make you stronger." You might still be here to bear them, but not necessarily the same person you were before them.

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