Nicky has a round face with blue eyes, rosy cheeks and a round nose, framed by messy gray hair. He wears a soft gray pointed hat with a tiny red tip, a white shirt with faint marks, red trousers with patterned suspenders and bright blue shoes.
Nicky knows his coffee: he insists on Colombian arabica, enjoys the ritual and guards his breakfast like treasure. He is particular because he cares about the things he loves.
When Bram tries to plant decaf, Nicky takes him by the vest and escorts him to the garden gate. And when an overenthusiastic stir threatens his breakfast, he saves his toast before getting himself out of the way. His priorities are perfectly clear.
