Practical Folklore, Monday 2nd period
Jon nodded to the students as they filed in.
"Today we'll be discussing the fae. If you're primarily acquainted with them as 'fairies' in Disney movies and children's stories, you're probably best throwing all of that out. Now, they're fictional in my world, but I know a few of you are familiar with them, so I'd appreciate whatever you have to add.
"The primary thing to know about the fae is that they have rules. Pay attention to the rules." He turned around to write on the blackboard, because apparently this was last century. "Never eat their food or drink. Never get in their debt, or even make it appear you are - this means no thanking them or saying you owe them. Try to avoid making any deals with them, and if you absolutely must, look things over with a microscope for loopholes and issues. They will try to get the better of you. Think of them as the most unscrupulous lawyers ever. Oh, and never tell them your name; that gives them power over you."
He looked at the students who had mentioned knowing them before. "Anything to add to that or change?"

And some fairies, especially blue ones, were lying liars who lied and should have been the big bad of the series but nooooo.
