Character of the Season
Frail in body but dangerously quick of mind, Nikandr is the sort of character who proves that curiosity can be just as perilous as any weapon. A necromancer, inventor, and problem-solver with more ambition than self-preservation, Niki approaches the world like a puzzle box begging to be opened, even when what’s inside has teeth. Blunt, dry-witted, fiercely independent, and carrying a history best left partially buried, he has a knack for making even failure feel fascinating. Whether he’s raising the dead, moving across Caido to King's End, or experiencing a hangover for the first time, Nikandr brings a wonderfully strange spark to Caido, and we can’t wait to see what trouble his brilliant mind wanders into next.
Congratulations, Niki!

Taking Amun's hand in hers, Amalia lets him help her to her feet. "That's good." She tries not to think about the implications - that another of the Voice's children is growing stronger - and instead celebrate her friend. "I'm glad you're acclimating well."
Wiping her hands on her breeches, the girl awkwardly shifts her weight. "I... I should get back to work soon. I'm sorry about, um, earlier." She is acutely aware of the fire at her palms, how easy it would be to summon again, how frightened he had become of her. "Come by the bakery soon though? And let me know when your boat is finished."
Amun grinned at Amalia. Reaching out, he ruffled her hair playfully. "All because of my good friends, kitty." Although his tone was teasing and his eyes were mischievous, there was something genuine beneath the words.
As she mentioned she had to go, he nodded easily. "Don't let me keep you." Smirking a bit, he put his hands on his hips. "I will and I will. And hey, you should stop by my studio some time. It's by the Artist's Santuary. Would be nice to have some company there for a change." His voice came out easily, but he watched her carefully, since she seemed ready to bolt.
She smiles a little at the invitation, her expression visibly warming. "I will. I can't say I've been to the artist's sanctuary yet. Maybe you can show me around sometime." Part of why she hasn't gone is because her understanding is that it is run entirely by Ascended, but she does not say that.
She reaches out awkwardly to offer him a half-hug-half-handshake-half-whatever-he-agrees-to before drawing away with a wave. "Well... I'll see you soon then, I guess. Let me know about that boat." Then she turns to make her way home, a little shaken by the day.
