    Varka tips his head. "What's with the flowers?" he asks. "Got a secret admirer?"

    "No," Flins tells him. Another step forward, he holds them out. "They're for you."

    In which Flins tries to court Varka, and Varka takes way too long to realize it.

    Summary

    This particular night, Demyan can’t help but notice that Flins and Varka are still on that first bottle of ice wine, glasses still half-full on the table in front of them. At some point during the night, Varka had eased his entire body into the sofa cushions until he was sprawling over more than half of it, his right thigh and foot pressed up against’ Flins’ own. Varka’s arm is wrapped around Flins’ shoulders and he’s laughing.

    The flush in Varka’s cheeks and glimmer of mirth in Varka’s eyes leaves Demyan with the impression that Varka may not have stopped laughing over the past few hours.

    Five times someone thought Flins and Varka were dating each other and the one time they were. Six outside perspectives on their relationship across the events of 6.0 and 6.1.

    Summary

    “What conclusion have you come up with?”

    “Human custom would point to love,” Flins notes. Varka will laugh it off easily enough. Flins will suffer a moment of embarrassment, and it won’t matter at the end of the night. But his teeth ache and something stirs in his stomach, pulling at him, whispering something that sounds unfairly like mine.

    A low, soft hum. “And what of the fae?” Varka asks.
    |
    Flins doesn't want to love like a monster. Varka just wants him, however he is.

    Summary

    “Can you have a child with Uncle Flins?”

    For a little while, sound reached him as if through layers of wool, and the only thing he could feel was akin to a blade piercing through his chest. Something in him folded inward, the same instinctive reflex he felt when he put out his light that one time, long ago. He did not move. Did not think. Did not speak.

    Varka laughed again, too fast and too loud, a tone that went against all the natural laws of sound.

    “That’s impossible,” Varka fixed the hat on Klee’s head, looking just as sad as she did. “Sorry, little spark.”

    Varka invites Flins to the Windblume Festival without telling him that the festival is the most notorious courting ground in Mondstadt. Somehow, everyone already knows what they are to each other—except them.
