I can't vouch for how nice the fairies in the rainbow desert five days' flight south would be, but you wouldn't find me and one of them in the same place, would you?

I know for a fact that if your gate had disgorged you in the scribes' place, for instance, the scribe would have done his level best to get your name or get you fed and use you for slave labor copying books."
