I might have to take these off to get something of a view.
[because of course he's wearing the shutter shades, but he's grinning in the sense that he knows how shitty his joke was. let's get going to the roof.]
[IT'S TIME FOR THE ROOF and whether or not baren's clearance gets him all the way up there, he's not against taking an elevator most of the way and then picking locks up until they get further and further up on different staircases until
there they are??
and baren's already laughing, delighted and bright - ]
This is a perk they definitely didn't lay out in my benefits!!
[at this point Nikkari's pushed up his glasses, trailing behind Baren and keeping a lookout when he picks locks, and when he sees the skyline, big and beautiful, he laughs with him, so happy to be able to see it.]
Look to your kingdom, Baren! You finally unlocked it!
[moments like these were more precious than gold to him - when really, anything could happen, and they'd make it true.]
[He'll laugh as he moves to sit right at the edge of the rooftop, because why wouldn't he. He lets his shades rest on his head and the mix of drinks hang out next to him.]

[Baren laughs at that. This big, beautiful, fucked up city is his kingdom? What a thought.
And yet when he looks over at Nikkari, sees how happy he is about it, the thought doesn't seem so bad.]
Does that mean that it's mine to set on fire as I please?

Can we delay the fire until tomorrow? I want to keep this view tonight.

I'll let it stay standing. For now.
