“Thank you,” I said. “I appreciate your offer of assistance.”
“This sounds nice,” Lene said. “But have you considered sitting in a tree and watching people pass below?”
“No,” I said. “I haven’t. Maybe I’ll take a little time off and do that, too.”
“If we could give you claws, it would be easier to climb a tree,” Gaheris told me.

Epilogue
The email was titled:Making an introduction…
Between you and Miri Geld, the new human-faerie liaison for the Princeling. Miri has been a great help to us as we work to mitigate misunderstandings and build stronger connections between our human employees and faerie workers interested in joining our teams.
Miri has told me she’d be happy to chat with you about some strategies to navigate smoother integration, ensuring respect between all of your employees.
But I’ll start with the best advice she’s given me so far!
Do not commit to anything you will not deliver
Do not agree to anything you cannot accomplish
Do not offer anything you will not part with
Do not dissemble or lie
I’m happy to tell you more about her work—bottom line, don’t look any further. I’ve found your consultant.
