the first is be aware that names have power. give yourself a nickname or give no name at all.
the second is do not accept anything edible from a faery. to eat from the lands of fae is to lock yourself from the land of mortals.
the third is regarding information. if a faery gives you information, do not thank them. you may say you appreciate their assistance, but thanking is tantamount to admitting a debt owed.
the fourth is about accepting gifts. be very cautious when doing so. many gifts will have unforeseen side effects. if a gift is offered, accept it, but if you do not trust the one who offered it, do not hesitate to destroy it. salt water is always a good cleanser.
the fifth is how to speak without offense. most fae are very old. this means propriety is very important. grudges can be held for centuries when you live millenia. if you do not wish to do something, the way you refuse is critical. be polite. anything less may land you in hot water.

The function of the first draft is to help you figure out your story. The function of every draft after that is to figure out the most dramatic way to tell that story. Darcy Pattison
What’s an old disagreement that still causes problems for your ship?
““What can you possibly achieve by seeing someone else miserable? What kind of a sick person do you have to be to get a kick out of someone else in pain? I don’t care how badly you were hurt. The second you think that someone else deserves the suffering you went through, you too become evil. And just like every other evil in the word, you need to be destroyed.””
