Look to her.

She's still trembling from before. You move over to comfort her, but then she looks up with fire burning in her eyes, and she grabs your shoulder.

"Why did you stop her?!" she shouts.

"Wh--"

"I was... making up for my mistake, Kyle. Why didn't you let me finish?"

You stare at her, unsure of what to say. Her words almost sound honourable, but by the look on her face, and how she was acting before, you think it might be something else.

"You wanted her to tickle you?"

Niki blushes. "Of course not. Well, I mean yes. But that's because I had to make up for my error of judgement before. Because I was so foolish, she deserved to tickle me... and trap me, so I can't fight back, as my body grows weak, and..." she starts to trail off. "T-Tickling."

She's a total freak with a tickling fetish!

"Can we just get going to the guild place?" you ask, rubbing your temples.

She crosses her arms and pouts. "Fine. You're lucky I'm also excited to start this party."

She's like a child.
