I just realized that to be one of the fae, you have to have an oddly specific weakness
And mine are horses. I will stay well clear if you have or are a horse. Consider yourself safe from mischief... FOR NOW
A good way to get me to leave and never return is to gift me a horse
I mean on one hand I'm thoroughly banished from the area
On the other you now have to take care of that horse yourself. WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?
Naturally I am not on good terms with kelpies
"But Elfi," you ask, "why are you giving your secrets away?"
And all I will have to answer is, "because insomnia led me to think it was a good idea at the time."
Also it's just horses, ponies, and I guess mules. Donkeys I am ambivalent on. A cow, goat, sheep, etc. will attract my love and care, and a gift of one will earn you reprieve for my adoration, which tbh is a smarter move than incurring my ire
But do not EVER sell or slaughter the gifted animal. Do not.
If times are dire and you resist the urge, I will come to your aid as a fellow caretaker
But the scorn of a fae burned is what turns the liminal sunset into the blackest night
Unrelated to all this, I remain easily distracted by lämp, so leave one lit if you just aren't in the mood for my mischief
Ofc I will still leave them with you because goats have a bad tendency to try and eat my mushroom cottage. But I'll help take care of them!
