❝Maybe, I am. Maybe, I can be. Maybe, I never will.❞

Niski knew that something was going on.
They didn't know what exactly, but it is definitely something.
They noticed how Aurelius didn't stay around them as often, preferring to have one of his 'secret talks' with Fēng instead of eating lunch with them as he usually did.
They noticed how Fēng and Aurelius would pretend to do work during their council meetings, only to stare at Pai.
(Of course, this behavior wasn't unusual for Fēng; it was just very unusual for Aurelius to join in.)
Of course they'd notice these differences.
As the next 'King' of the Sun Kingdom, they'd learned to read people and their behaviors.
Niski just wished that they knew what was going on.
After Pai left, Niski had a lot more to think about.
'So here's whats going down so far..'
They sat down, staring intently at this new 'pizza' dish.
'Aurelius, Fēng, and Pai are all involved in some kind of drama or plot. Due to this, things have been turned around and weird. Aurelius is avoiding me (?) while Pai is avoiding Fēng. Fēng desperately needs to talk to Pai and...well, that's it."
As Niski thought this matter over deeply, chewing their bottom lip.
They failed to notice Aurelius looking over their shoulder, his eyes narrowed.
"Niski, where'd you get pizza?" Aurelius questioned, lifting his eyebrow. He crossed his arms, displeased about something.
"Pai came over. He-" Niski started, happy to have the other talking to them again.
Aurelius let out a grunt, crossing his arms and walking away. He didn't stop to let Niski finish their sentence, missing the hurt that was now apparent on Niski's face.
"Oh," Niski breathed out, a sad smile now gracing their face. "I wonder if I did anything.." They'd mumble, continuing to enjoy their pizza.
