stay your pretty eyes on course
"...Why? It is your birthday." None of this seems to make any sense to Niki, and he's not nearly sober enough to realise he might have misstepped when it comes to his friendship with Sunjata. If a man who rules a region personally comes to help you move your belongings into your new home, surely the least you can do is get him a birthday present, right? (Right?) "Anyway, I will need to give it to you at your party instead of Flora's anyway." This is her night, after all.
As for the cloud manta, Niki hums out a sigh under his breath and considers the creature. "It is not so bad," he decides, especially when both of the options presented to him involve Sunjata getting up from the couch. "No, no. You stay," he says with a drunken wave of his hand, glancing back across the room only to spot a server with a tray of drinks. "There is the Blue Torcher," he announces. "Though I think I may need to reconsider another drink. I am very tired, suddenly. And I cannot get up from this couch anyway."

I guess I never really faced my fears before
