      The light would still presumably take several years to travel.

          Now I’m thinking about a pair of elves is the worst sort of codependent relationship, but one light year apart.

          They use sign language to constantly argue and make up with each other, but because of the one light year delay, they’re maybe never quite at the same place in the argument/reconciliation cycle, both of them arguing with their counterpart one year prior.
