NIKI
"Mm, I suppose we are," Niki says, though his tone falls much more on the side of fondness than mischief. Flora is, after all, almost the entire reason he's as social and well-travelled as he is these days, and he can think of much worse people to be like. That doesn't mean he intends to let any of Kaisel's glass onions out of the bag, though, and his eyes are still on the glittering threat of her other rings when she closes the distance between them again.
"I said it was a surprise, not that it was birthday related," he quips with a shake of his head, and he'd have opted to say nothing further at all were it not for the Doubletake suddenly removing his glass from his fingers and replacing it with a refill. "I sense you are hoping that I will get loose lips if you feed me enough cocktails," he says dryly (but he does take a drink).
"The joke is on you, though. As you are aware, I am famously terrible at holding my liquor." Meaning he's more likely to pass out than spill any secrets.
