[Flins is absolutely taking advantage of the linked shadow he has with Husk for this one. He can deliver it in the dead of night and leave the gifts before escaping. Even with a sliver of moonlight, shadows are cast, so it makes for easy work.
When Husk awakens there's a box wrapped perfectly. The corners and edges are finely folded and crisp, expertly done with no bubbles. It seems to be adhered together with a very old style of glue as well.
When opened, perfectly wrapped in a silky cloth is a full sand dollar, with no imperfections. The gifter took great care to make sure this was delivered undamaged. The only other thing in the box is a lantern. It's more practical than the ancient one Flins uses, with a flat bottom and basic design.
There is an envelope with an intricate 'Husk' written on the front. Written inside:]
The winds awaken, the leaves whirl 'round...
This is the start of the Lightkeepers' oath. I'm sure that doesn't mean much to you, but I often find myself repeating it on quiet nights at my lighthouse.
I am not very good at gifts. The Lightkeepers have spoiled me with gifts, but I could never figure out what to gift them in return. I mostly pass on stones or shells that I find. But I wanted to gift you this lantern, as well.
I'm truly glad you made it through your ordeals and came back to me.
