    Summary

    Flins catches Illuga smoking. He feels very normal about it.

    As Illuga breathes in, he feels the plant fibres burn in in his flame, but most vividly, the image returns: the embers of the cigarette lighting up azure, himself travelling along their path, past Illuga’s lips, his throat, burning in his lungs as his broad chest expands, penetrating his bloodstream, spreading outward into his strong limbs and stronger heart, being absorbed by Illuga wholly and fully, and it makes him feel more heady than anything he’s ever consumed in the past.

    But then Flins huffs a laugh and cracks open one tired eye to look at him. “You would have made a fine addition to Belyi Tsar’s court,” he praises, and Illuga feels himself go red. “Perceptive and well-spoken; I daresay you could have run three circles around the Fair Folk there before they realized what had happened.”

    Summary

    Despite being a new recruit, there's an eager but benign confidence to him, a need to prove himself that he speaks with. "I'm Illuga, I'm a member of the Lightkeepers logistics squad. Mr. Flins, yes?"

    Without his permission, the corners of Flins' lips twitch up, quirking. "You haven't happened to see any other living soul around the cemetery, have you?" he questions instead, purely teasing as his tone carries his jest.

    It appears the young man is caught off guard by his response, for his eyes widen a fraction, lips parting with surprise. Quickly does he school his expression, attempting to hide his reaction for something professional, "I haven't, no." He shakes his head. "I was told that no one else lives here besides you."

    "Ah, then it seems you have indeed found who you're looking for." Flins crosses an arm over his chest, the other neatly placing itself behind his back as he politely bows. "An honor to make your acquaintance. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

    A look at Flins and Illuga’s relationship behind the scenes.

    Summary

    “No college sweethearts, or flings, or one-night stands, anything. What about you?”

    “Nothing,” Flins says, and then mumbles under his breath. “Only the thought of you.”

    “Me, huh?” Illuga pauses as if to process, lets out a hum, and then exhales. “You're getting better at this. I almost believed it this time.”

    Summary

    A silver spear with a lantern hanging from the blade. A second lantern, ornate and time-worn, divorced from its usual place at its owner’s hip. Neither of the lanterns are lit with their familiar blue flame.

    Illuga is a Lightkeeper. He knows better than anyone in the room what it means when a Lightkeeper’s Oath Lantern has been separated from its bearer.

    Flins doesn’t return from the battle against Dottore. Illuga becomes his lantern's keeper.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “There is something I never got to tell you. I’ve only wanted one thing in my life, and that was you.” The confession hangs in the silence between the graves. Illuga bows his head. “I don’t know if you felt the same, but if you were still here, I would have pursued you until you said yes. That would have given me something to do, now that we’ve put our blades down.
