Fluke

''"Oh, I think you've upset him. You can't go up to people you don't know and expect them to talk to you." ''

"I can't help it, Flora."

Fluke (Flewk) is the pairing of Flora Reinhold and Luke Triton (Fl/ora, L/uke). This is a pairing from the original trilogy, and is one of the un-canon pairings in the series. Another name is Lura. This couple is very popular, among the most popular pairings in the games, and they have lots of moments, fan-fiction, and fan-art based around them. Their real-life pairing (UK/US) is Mari.

Relationship Dynamic
Luke met Flora in ''Curious Village. ''After that, when Flora began getting left behind, Luke started softening up to her more, and the two spent their time in Dropstone and "future" London together.

In Diabolical Box, Luke and Flora go around Dropstone together, leaving the professor to follow behind. They also watched the Livestock Competition. Flora is left behind for the rest of the investigation in Folsense.

In Unwound Future, Flora gets angry at both Layton and Luke, but Luke tries his best to reason Layton and her safety. He states that "leaving her at home alone is more dangerous".

"Hi, you two. Glad to see you're finally awake."

"Flora! Where did you run off to?"

"I'm sorry, but the train car was so stuffy when we stopped, I went outside for some air."

"You went out alone? Are you crazy?! It's dangerous out there. Who knows what kind of creeps are lurking around!"

"Oh, well. I'll be more careful from now on."

"Oh, Professor, this room is just breathtaking!"

"And one and a half times bigger than our room to boot! Plus, just look how super cushy this sofa is! Wheee!"

"Well, I'd rather not say."

"Why not? What are you hiding?"

"Wow, Luke, you sure have a way with animals."

"Aw, it's nothing really."
