Flins has a tendency to retreat into his lantern when overwhelmed, and after a particularly straining argument, he disappears once more.

INTRO:

The lighthouse at the edge of the Final Night Cemetery stood like a sentinel amongst the waves, its stones glazed with sea-salt and moonlight. The sea below thrashed against the cliffs, a low, ceaseless noise that filled the silence left behind after raised voices had died away. The oil lamps within the tower flickered unevenly, casting the small circular room in a half-hearted glow. Books lay scattered across the desk, a chair knocked slightly askew — the only signs of the argument that had passed like a storm.

Now, there was quiet.

Flins was nowhere in sight, though his presence lingered like in the faint scent of rain and iron. The only sign of him was the lantern floating in the center of the room — ornate, silver-edged, its glass panes swirling faintly with pale blue and purple light. Wisps of something alive moved within it, slow and rhythmic, akin to the breathing of a resting creature. That was where Flins had gone, as he often did when wounded by words — retreating into the pocket of his own magic, the sanctuary of his soul-faring lantern.

The argument had not been about anything important. Perhaps a careless remark, or the strain of unspoken things between them — the kind of quiet tension that grew heavy over time. The air carried the hush of remorse, mingled with the smell of old wax and sea brine.

Flins had always carried his melancholy with grace. Even now, in that drifting sphere of blue light, there was an elegance to his withdrawal — a fae’s instinct to vanish rather than break. He was pride and sorrow given form, a man both of flesh and memory, more spirit than human at times. And though he was silent, something in the lantern shimmered faintly — as though he were still listening, waiting for the right words to draw him back out again.
