Mm, I think it wouldn’t hurt, but if we’re there long enough we run out then it won’t be a disaster either. But that first month after I got back from the fae realm was pretty rough. I wound up losing some weight because I didn’t want to eat much, it all just tasted way too bland. But I got my sense of taste for human food back in the end.

[So it partly depends on how willing Zel is to eventually deal with food that tastes like drywall. Since Emery knows he’d get his taste back eventually he’s willing to put up with it, but maybe Zel is fussier.]

I’m not sure what causes it. The food in the fae realm is good but it’s not hypnotically good. Except maybe the wine. There’s a winery in the Field Lord’s territory that makes some good stuff~

[That, however, is edging a bit into less pleasant territory to think about. And they’re supposed to be thinking about practical logistics! They can work in carousing later… Emery taps at his chin thoughtfully.]



Ah, come to think of it, currency might be an issue if we have to buy anything. Most fairies don’t go to the human realm, ever, so our money’s only worth as much as its materials. But Calanthe did give me some funds for travel expenses. It's not a lot, but I'm good at making do.
