NIKI
Narrowing his eyes at that, the expression on Niki's face nevertheless falls somewhere between impressed and pleased; evidently he enjoys the brand of humour he inflicts on others in equal measure. "Good," he replies, taking a few steps further out into the street so as not to block the rest of the skyship passengers from getting out and going along their way.
"Oh, you do not have to--" But it's too late, and the demigod is already grabbing up the cart of his belongings like it's absolutely nothing, leaving him walking beside Sunjata with both gratitude and chastisement burning on his tongue. "Thank you," he settles on at last, the steady tap of his cane on the stone a marked difference from the dirt and occasional cobbles of the Greatwood.
Quietly memorising the instructions and assigning visual markers as they make their way to their destination, he glances sidelong to Sunjata with a small smile. "Quiet, but long," he confesses. "I cannot deny that, come Deepfrost, I am looking forward to not having to travel the length of the continent to visit friends. How have things been here?"

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
