"Yes!"

"I don"t know," Lis said shakily, "I don"t know."

"I know," Orel interrupted him. "He trusts me and he isn"t dangerous to us."

Nikto slowly walked down the stairs and approached the company.

"Hello," he said.

"Good morning," Tol waved to him. "You don"t look good, you know."

"Orel, may I sit with my back to the window?" Nikto asked.

"Fine," Orel said. "Enriki, let him sit in your place."

Enriki exchanged places with Nikto in surprise. Now Nikto was sitting on the right from Orel, next to Lis. He took a cup silently and started drinking.

"Nikto, you didn"t warn me the daylight caused you such problems," Orel said, "and today isn"t even sunny."

"I"m okay," Nikto said, "I"ve just forgotten when I got up in the morning for the last time."

"I wouldn"t say you"re okay," Orel said. "You"re totally NOT okay, in fact."

He leaned towards Nikto.

"Loot at me."

Nikto slowly looked up.

"Tell me the truth, do you see anything?"

"Yes," Nikto said quietly but firmly. He lowered his eyes again.

"What are you talking about?" Tol asked in surprise.

"The thing is, my friend Tol, Nikto doesn"t see shit when it"s light!"

Lis turned to Orel in astonishment.
