ILLUGA CHARMING FAE Y/N YES I AM HERE FOR IT! I can only think that Fae Y/N was tired of Flins' desperate, male-bird-like attempts to get their attention but Illuga is a nonchalant baddie and isn't afraid of their true nature.
So Y/N, being a typical fae, just tries to scare Illuga and trick him. Plins get up ong
I'VE DONE THE ILLUGA QUEST, I HOPE YOU'RE PROUD OF ME ANON... we can now talk about illuga stealing flins' fae (y/n) <33
illuga doing his regular rounds of delivering supplies to fellow lightkeepers, flins included, and he's surprised to see someone (who is clearly not flins) meandering around the cemetery. last time he checked, the only resident in this area was his co-worker, and you don't seem to look like the usual ghosts he encounters on this land. so...
"hello, i hope i'm not disturbing you." he bows before you, "but i'm here to deliver supplies... is it a bad time?"
you shake your head, guiding him deeper into the fog. "not at all, make yourself comfortable on the bench over there."
"ah, thank you." illuga promptly takes a seat and sets down the package he's been carrying. he sneaks in a glance at you, observing your behavior and appearance. you have pointed ears... is it a genetic trait from your ancestors?
but then, why is he only seeing you now? and not the previous times he visited? he wants to investigate.
he clears his throat, "are you new to this island...?"
"no," you take a seat at the very end of the metal bench, putting quite a distance between you and him. "i've always lived here, you see."
your conversation never flourished because, as if possessing a sixth sense, flins freakishly appears behind you without warning, telling you that you've gotten enough sunlight (the island is shrouded in fog) for today. won't you please heed him and go back inside? :))))))
throughout the entire exchange, illuga watches on with focused eyes.
he never really caught onto flins' true nature. he's suspicious, yes, but the connection between flins and the enigmatic, posed race of snowland faes never crossed his mind at the same time. so as he witnessed his co-worker's (weirdly bantering) conversation with you, illuga grows concerned.
what he thinks isn't 'is this how faes communicate with one another?', instead it's 'am i... the primary witness to an abusive relationship right now?'
i like to indulgently think that's where whiteknight illuga is born >< he doubles the frequency of visits to flins' freak island because he thinks that his visits ensure you won't get harassed by the blue-haired bug-eyed lightkeeper. in his dreams, he's the knight in shining armor and you're the royal locked up in a tower guarded by the monster 🥹🥹🥹
