    Summary

    Lightkeepers were no stranger to mortal dangers.

    For the small price of protecting the innocent villagers residing in Nod Krai, they would risk their own lives fighting back against the Wild Hunt.

    And yet, it seemed as if fate had deemed Illuga’s suffering was enough, and blessed him with enough time to grow old in retirement. To grow old in accompanying a certain Lightkeeper that liked to feed strange things to the blue fire nestled in his lamp…and–

    “What should I do, Young Master Illuga?” Rarely was Flins’ voice so subdued, void of his usual composure and lighthearted teasing. His eyes were inhumanly bright, and yet, all Illuga could see was the wet shimmer of tears from a being that was older than the biggest of trees scattered all over Nod Krai. “I seem to find myself rather unwilling to imagine that we would no longer have our morning tea by my lighthouse.”

    “Oh, Sir Flins.” Illuga smiled, a weathered hand coming to cup this face that remained the same even after the years had gone by. “Sometimes, things just come to an end, that’s all.”

     

    Or in which, Illuga grows old together with Flins.

    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

    “That is an unusual question for someone to ask, I must say,” Flins murmurs, seeming rather unfazed. “I hesitate to assume anything, of course, but may I ask if it comes from the curiosity of anyone in particular?”

    He can feel Flins’ stare on his cheek. His own is resolutely focused on the booth. For Illuga, it’s hard not to worry the most about those who show the least signs of battle and fatigue. He’ll ask whatever questions necessary to remind him that he wants him safe - and he’s curious, too, he won’t deny that.

    “A little bird was the one who asked, if you can believe it.”

    (Or: A series of detours, a dreadful fall into an isolated cave, and Flins' well-hidden plans for Illuga to get some rest.)

    Summary

    Illuga meets and greets the same people almost every day. Even though he had just finished a dangerous patrolling mission, he is more energetic and ever-so kind. Even as he is on the battlefield, his determination never wavers. His father, Nikita even remarks that he is more determined than ever.

    He had forgotten to visit Flins at the Final Night Cemetery for a week, so he figured he could take the time to visit late. As always, the night darkens his surroundings. Since Aedon is not here to accompany him as his light, he brings a normal lamp with a simple candle flame inside. Flins greets him and gives him the usual two glasses of water. A simple chat is initiated and without skipping a beat, Flins tells the young Ratnik something.

    “You’re not Illuga, are you?”

     

    TLDR; Illuga goes on patrolling, but what comes back… isn’t him. And Flins knows it.
