She giggled, swerving a few steps away at the friendly jab.  "Training with the guard?"  Any half-formed plans Nikki had fled as she seized upon one that appealed even more.  "You mean the knights?"  Her grin grew wider, and laughter danced in her golden-brown eyes.  "Forget the glider, watching you get your butt handed to you sounds excellent~  You may be good with that sword of yours, but there's no way you're anywhere near a match for them, not yet.  I mean, they train /forever/!"  The teen switched her collapsed glider, now resembling a thick walking stick, from one hand to the other.  "Besides, I'd love an excuse to visit the castle.  I wonder if I can sneak in and catch a glimpse of the king...."

She trailed off in a thoughtful tone, something her friends knew was not going to make the end result any less wild.  "Landing on the roof somewhere, that's too obvious.  I mean, everyone flies, right?  Climbing up to a window, though, that they'd /never/ expect~"  Nikki turned her attention back to Blank.  "So do you wanna try and visit the king before you get yourself all beaten up, or after~?"
