NIKI
"Sometimes those can be the best parties, or so I have heard." Niki smiles. He's hardly an expert when it comes to wild nights out, and although he has no idea who Jack is (though it's presumably the captain of The Ark), good moods all around will only buoy an already festive atmosphere. He steps back a bit as Sunjata finally frees his hands from the sleeves of his sweater, allowing the Heartless to get to his feet, though he raises his eyebrows to hear that there will be no impending hangover.
"Very lucky you," he says. "And, er... yes, it was," he admits, of Flora's party. "It was not my first time drinking, but I have never gotten quite so intoxicated before. I underestimated the strength of the cocktails." Heat threatens in his cheeks at the memory of both the night (what little he recalls of it) and the morning after, but it soon fades with Sunjata's offer.
What starts as a typically Niki answer - you do not have to do that - ends with a beat of quiet consideration, because it would take more than one trip to gather both blankets and pillows for the other man. "As long as you trust yourself to stand up, help would be appreciated. And you are not imposing, I assure you." Beckoning for him to follow, Niki leads them down the hall to the partially open door and the cloak of darkness within.
His room, like the rest of the space, is still a little sparse, but there are books and trinkets aplenty here as well as a bed with the covers mussed from where he'd gotten up, and a trunk that Niki opens filled with pillows and a few blankets. "Take whatever you need."
