    Summary

    “It was you,” he says again. Only this time, he doesn’t phrase it as a question. “You saved me.”

    Flins closes his eyes, leaning into his touch with a sigh, the sound leaving him like the last bit of his resistance.

    “Do you think me a monster?” He asks, bending down a fraction.

    “I think,” Illuga says, coming up on his toes, searching his face as if he could see the beautiful and terrible reality lying beneath. “I didn’t much mind the feeling of dying, if it was in your arms.”

    Summary

    “You enjoy teasing me, don’t you, Mr. Flins?”

    “A favorite pastime of mine, I must say.”

    Illuga gives Flins a dry side-eye. The expression softens soon after, however. “Then care to make a wager?”

    “Let’s see who can fluster the other first.”

    Summary

    Layla had tried, gently, to smother the suspicion rising from the young Ratnik. But how could she? Flins had told him nothing. Not what he was. Not what she was. Not the truth of centuries stitched into their bones.
    And so the man had filled the silence with the worst possible answer.
    She was beginning to think Kyryll had grown foolish.
    No.
    He had grown human.
    “Kyryll,” she said quietly, lips thinning. “I came to visit you. Not to shatter his heart.”
    “I am aware, Svetlana—”
    “Layla,” she corrected firmly.
    A small pause.
    “Layla,” he amended, inclining his head.

    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

    Illuga wasn’t afraid of the dark; the monsters of the Wild Hunt didn’t scare him, only what they could do to his friends; he had walked the path to and from Cliffwatch Camp on his own a hundred times and he had never been so afraid.
     

    tldr, illuga gets chased through the woods and he likes it
