SHARP / TEETH !

With Autumn coming, keep an eye out for fae. I know we all love walking in the woods during fall and going to farmers markets, but keep your wits about you, because they know it too. Autumn is a time for harvest after all, and what better to harvest than poor, careless, and wonderfully distracted humans. 

Remember:

During this time, the trees are not themselves. Keep an eye out for movement in their bark. 

Do not buy from vendors with no sign. You don’t know what you’re purchasing but they certainly do and they’re very excited. 

If you hear music in the woods, don’t follow it. You just might find its source. 

Keep your feet on the ground. The wind gets strong in the Autumn and there’s no knowing where it would take you. 

Listen to the birds. They want to help you. 

If you suspect your neighbor is one of the fae, do not ask them about it. They are hiding in our world for a reason and you don’t want to be dragged into it.

If, by some foolishness on your part, you are stolen, do not tell them where your home is. You may be lost, but you can still keep others safe. 

I cannot speak to the Faerie Land and what to do if you should find yourself lost there, because I have never been thoughtless enough to be stolen myself, but perhaps one day I may travel there, just to find out how to escape. It would certainly be an adventure, I can say that.

         CIARAN  WAS  NO  stranger to comments about his  hair .  at the risk of looking like an  anime  protagonist,  it tended to be the most noticeable feature he bore  (  aside,  of course,  from the  more - than - occasional  TEETH .  )  as such,  that’s not what truly brought in an  exciting  prospect to the exchange at hand                it’s the way communication is wrought. (  standard english was not his  FIRST  and it was far from his  LAST .  )

      ‘  sometimes mine’s purple when it gets covered in blood  !  not a lot of fun to wash it out though.  sticky . . .  it’s blue ! and green. and happened on accident.  i think.  but i’m likin’ it so far      less boring than blond.  ’

It’s okay to fall apart even after you thought you had it under control.
