Nikoh nodded as he took the cigarette and lit it, curiously only one had been taken but the box certainly didn't seem new. He'd never been a huge fan of Lung Busters, back on the coast he'd smoke an off-brand counterfeit known locally as Alveoli Annihilators: bittersweet memories of his old home causing his facial tentacles to lift as he smiled and lit the cigarette. The Vykker's question only increasing his memories of his old home. Memories of the events that led him here quickly snapped him out of his daze.
"I, uhh..." Nikoh drummed his fingers against one of his ventilators in thought, he hadn't even considered an alibi to his presence here. His inability to answer seemed to raise a questioning glance from the Vykker, as he quickly tried to formulate a lie. "I tells'ya what since you've been so kind..." Nikoh lowered his tone and leaned closer, though the crowd was loud he was wary of who could still be listening. "I'm here on a bit of a private investigation. I heard rumours of some smuggling involving the Mobb and you'd be surprised was gets through the Depot" Nikoh would have laughed at the irony of what he'd just said but was anxious to the response of the Vykker. Though he hadn't necessarily lied as to why he was here, he feared his intentions could be questioned.
"Name's Nikoh, by the way."
CA: Nikoh attempts to use his charisma stat in order to convince Mildred of his alibi.
