Luckily his companion took this turn in conversation much better, and Nikai felt secretly proud that he'd been able to steer the conversation towards a positive point again. It served his practise as a counsellor well, especially considering Dirge had been a stranger not long ago. It turns out he was new to this area, and Nikai nodded with interest and enthusiasm brimming on his face. It was clear from one look at him that he had a hundred more questions, but simply didn't know where to start without becoming too personal again.

When Dirge asked him where he was born, albeit indirectly, Nikai at first said, "Yes," but then as Dirge elaborated he realised he didn't really know the exact place of his birth. "Or, well... Me and my sister Keenie were born somewhere 'round here, but I don't know where exactly. We moved a lot when we were little, so I don't remember." There was little emotion to his voice; he barely remembered his deceased mother and he didn't remember anything about where he was from. Nikai didn't care much for any of that; the family and home he had now were most important to him.
