NIKI
"Well, if you are it sounds as though it is because you want what is best for the people you care about. And as though you like having Sohalia around, which can be considered selfish in only the most flattering of ways." Smiling, Niki shrugs his shoulder and polishes off the last of his cocktail, setting the empty glass down on a tray of other empties which is quickly whisked away by one of the caterers.
Unfamiliar with intentional dick moves (he isn't aware of the number of times Vesper has bullied him in secret, sorry), Niki can nevertheless see the logic plain in Flora's line of thought, and he nods absently as if he only realises he agrees with her the moment it happens. "I think I would prefer that as well," he says. "Thoughtless hurt is... well. It is just that. A lack of care."
He almost drifts into tipsy distraction with it, but luckily Flora is there with further tea to spill, the necromancer refocusing on the party and the apparently-not-present subject of all of this ire. "They say that people do change sometimes when they start to date someone, do they not?" he hazards. "Usually I would say that some distance might do you some good, but if that is how things are, if she does decide to move to the desert, perhaps all of you should sit and meet before she goes to clear the air." If such a thing is even possible; suffice to say, Niki is not a relationship expert.
