Summary
“I don’t need to know what you are,” Illuga says. “Just give me something. Something to cling to the next time you run headfirst into danger alone.”
Flins sees the ghosts behind those pleading eyes, the shadows he tries to bathe in light, to pretend his lantern could drown them out rather than push them further into the corners of his mind. And he knows the stories, knows the haunted past that Illuga doesn’t like to talk about, the reason Flins’ answer matters.
He settles on a simple, yet vague truth.
“I am… not so easily killed,” he admits.
“If you’re lying to me,” Illuga says. “I will summon you from the grave and kill you myself.”

Summary
Never tell the fae your name. It gives them power over you, because names contain power.
That was Illuga’s first mistake.
Or perhaps, Flins' first exception.

Summary
"'Flins'?" Flins asked, his tone mildly surprised but courteous. "I am seldom called as such. Why, my good sir, do I perhaps know you? If I do, please forgive me for I cannot remember."
"Hang on a second." Illuga grabbed the edge of Flins' coat. "If Flins is not the name you're used to, what do they call you?"
"Ah. My apologies." Flins took his hat and bowed, his grace and elegance untouched by the howling snow. He took Illuga's fingers and pressed them to his lips—much like the first time they met. "Allow me to introduce myself, my good sir. Around these parts, I am called Kyryll, the Azure Flame."

Summary
Illuga has woken after an accident he cannot remember, and to the unexplainable disappearance of his close friend.
In Flins' continued and worrying absence, Illuga decides that the first thing he'll do is find Flins, make sure he's alright and get the answers to his missing memories.
When he's free, that is. Being injured complicates things a bit.

Summary
“But Mr. Illuga, have you considered that Mr. Flins has two hands,” said Clorinde with a straight face. If one didn't hear what she just said, she would look like someone who just delivered a routine military report. Beside her, Navia wheezed.
“What does that have to do with anything,” Illuga replied, sounding ten times more tired than before.
“It means he can hold both yours and Mr. Varka’s hands at the same time!” Sethos answered with full confidence. “YOU have two hands, Illuga! Maybe you can score them both!”
Illuga turned and started walking towards the door. “I’m going home.”
