"I am glad to hear it." And he really is; often an insomniac himself (or the type of dreamer to wander into all sorts of shenanigans), he's already seen the battles that Sunjata fights for a decent rest, and to hear that he'd won this particular fight is heartening.

"So it is peppermint bark in your cocoa and hazelnut in your coffee?" Smirking and raising an eyebrow as if to ask if he's got that right, Niki summons his cane and carefully starts to get himself back on his own two feet, straightening his own clothes out as he goes. Tilting his head at the oh-so-leading question, where only days ago it might have caused him to flush to the tips of his ears, now he finds it disarmingly easy to answer.
"I was going to come back here to get a real stretch of sleep," he says. "Longnight is... well, it is long. You are welcome to come back with me, if you do not want to be outside or to travel all the way back up to the House."

I guess I never really faced my fears before
