Gloved hands smooth over the jagged edges of a bone, eyes tracing the movement as if they could extract the memories from its wear and tear in doing so. Well, to some extent, he *can*... but it isn't a very refined process.

Hm. This elemental energy... did this once belong to a vishap?

Flins is finding that he must store up on a surplus of jerky to reward him with. Good deeds are transactional, and the fae does not long to be in debt—and particularly not with a creature he cannot properly communicate with.

...

That being said, these specimens are rather exquisite.

More bones...

Flins doesn't have a name for this dog yet, but he's proving to be an excellent assistant. It's almost enough to make up for the horrible deed of ruining his jigsaw the other day.

Alas, as this rather fluffy assistant carries out more tasks for him,

This is the moment one may realize they have seconds to live. This ghostly apparition before them shows no indication of mercy—only a cold intent to kill.

"Fear not the dead, for you soon shall join them."

Azure flames lick the inside of his lantern feverishly, threatening to spill out. As they reach his eyes, the Lightkeeper's form seems to bend and twist and distort in and out of reality—mirroring heatwaves in a desert.

The sun rises, and Flins returns to his study. He doesn't plan on sleeping, but the underground library emulates the night without any lit flame, and it's a kind of solace for him when he's not ready for daylight.

However, later, he'll coordinate an attack on the Wild Hunt while it's still bright.

// i think from a reader/player's perspective, him being enigmatic is a lot of the fun. so i want to work that into my portrayal. but the night is still young and i have much to learn

flins.⋆༺☾༻⛧🕯 @phosphylax.bsky.social · 2d

// for now i'm figuring out his inner workings so i'll be pretty up front with what he thinks and decides in internal dialogue.

this fae is too smooth of a talker with hidden motives. i need to understand him thoroughly before filtering that part out

// depending on the type of thread i'm writing, i may switch my normally-introspective style to something more narratively descriptive to keep flins' intentions secret... could be fun...

Fish for dinner.

Kyryll the Azure Flame need not eat, but Flins the Ratnik must.

"This is my first time visiting Mondstadt." The first time 'Flins' had visited Mondstadt, yes. It wasn't a lie. "As I am but a humble outlander—do you have any recommendations?"

Why was the young master serving at the bar? Was he not busy as an entrepreneur? Flins' curiosity only grew.

flins.⋆༺☾༻⛧🕯 @phosphylax.bsky.social · 2d

Although he wished to linger and chat, Flins couldn't help but take the barstool furthest tucked into the right-hand corner, as far away from the ruckus as possible. He practically sank into his heavy winter coat as if it were a shield, his face only visible from the bridge of his nose and up.

Their lineage was recorded in great detail within the legends of Mondstadt... but, admittedly, Flins was only able to identify him based on the Traveler's description.

Yes, here, at the bar, was a good place to sit.

Centuries spent in solitude deemed that his noise tolerance threshold was low.

Diluc Ragnvindr. A young man whose fiery appearance matched his vision—and albeit dressed in a more modern style, Flins could easily picture him blending in among Snezhnayan nobles of the past with the class he exuded.

The fae had never met a descendent of the Ragnvindr clan in person.

Winter... Flins thinks of Rerir and smiles wryly.

"Nod-Krai is still warm, Miss Lauma. Let us enjoy the gentle breeze for a tad longer."

Time remains to piece a plan together. Although wrought with anxieties, the people of this land have not yet expired.
