unblinkered

"You cannot stay here long enough to read all my books unless you want me to feed you - you'd starve - and frankly I'm not sure I want to feed you; I'd feel even more responsible for you than I already do. And it'd depend on the fairy - kind and individual both - but nearly every fairy you meet will want to get you to eat something or tell them your name. Even if they don't want you, they can pass you on to someone who does. Fairies that are smaller than I am and don't have claws or sharp teeth, in this region, as a general rule of thumb that I do not guarantee overall, will not physically attack you but might know sorcery - other fairies vary too much in their violent inclinations or lack thereof for me to offer a good heuristic. Even if you eventually get hungry and talk me into giving you food in spite of the fact that I'd then feel particularly obliged to look after you, I don't plan to, say, order you to dance without rest until you expire or something, but the list of things that someone might find amusing to use you for is long and unpleasant."
