"Wh- but that is not..." Not what he'd thought, not what Flora had implied, but also not anything that he'd checked was actually true. Granted, that had been several Blue Torchers ago, and Niki figures he can be given a pass for things he'd been told when he'd been more sober that have since melted into their own version of the truth. "I suppose that would make sense," he adds, of how Frey may have flipped the script on his initial assumption. Sunjata's words echo in his mind again - I'm a person too - and he finds himself seeing the man in a new light. (Ironic, given the relative darkness).
"Could I stand in your probably very expensive shoes, being what, eight feet tall, and with considerable magical power and a dragon under my skin?" he echoes, and if it weren't for the slight slur to his words, the dry tone could be all sober-Niki. "I think I could suffer through that, yes."
He scoffs, shifting enough to get out of the brace with Sunjata's assistance, his smile fading a little as the other man continues. "Maybe you need to get yourself one of those luck rings," he suggests, also aiming for a lighter tone. "Or therapy. I have heard that works wonders also."

I guess I never really faced my fears before
