it's always kind of funny to me when people insist that honesty is a virtue and you should always tell the truth because being good at lying is something that's been almost universally celebrated for thousands of years by pretty much all of humanity. like there are literally multiple folk tales and legends throughout history and across cultures that involve the hero tricking their adversary in order to win, and it's usually considered a disadvantage to mythical creatures such as faeries that they can't say things that aren't true.
