"Thank you." It was said plainly, but with some heart behind it.
"I know one named Maleficent, but not well. We've never talked in depth about anything, but she was excited when I made a guess at her name. She thought it was because her name traveled to Oberon's ears. Oh and on that, she knew Oberon as the King of the Fairies, so make of it what you will."
Puck grinned at the questions about rules. "Oh, I was hoping you'd touch on this. For everything under the umbrella of Oberon's Children, himself and Titania included? Not at all. An agreement reached between fae and human lasts as long as conditions are being met, until the fae gets bored, or until the human dies. We can misunderstand things, and technically not be lying. But the whole 'we can only tell the truth' idea is a lie, which is pretty comical!"
He laughed and continued. "The fulfillment conditions of a request made can be interpreted in any way that completes it, but doesn't have to be the spirit or the letter. It can be whatever's called for at the time. Or something entirely different. That's the fun of it. A promise isn't the same as a wish or a request. It's not treated the same."
