There are a few words that describe the actions of a person who is being nice when faced with another person's anger... the choice of which word is most precise would depend, at least in part, on the "nice" person's motivation. For example, is "nice" person is sincerely remorseful? Or is the "nice" person trying to gloss over the situation?
placate
appease
apologize
conciliate
pacify
assuage
conciliate
mollify
