Puck saw snippets but nothing he recognized. He could read ancient Latin with the best of them, but not what was being shown. Which didn't matter as Loki started explaining things. He nodded.

"If he knows how to reach out when someone or something is asleep or unconscious, that's.. It's not old magic by my understanding. But it's something I don't see being used often."

Puck gave a hum and considered before he spoke again.

"If he doesn't think we're a threat, why would he be bothered if we have our powers? If he's trying to present as a generous ruler, that ties into what we mentioned about gifts. If my discussions with Luz hold water, then Vaeros could be acting as a director. But I don't think it quite goes down that path. Winter to winter.." Puck frowned.

"Hibernation would be my guess. Oberon's own version of sleep magic is very advanced and only requires a single command. If Vaeros is as young as I'm thinking or as inexperienced, he would probably have to wait for that to happen on its own. Say when someone or something is going to bed, instead of forcing it to happen whenever he wants to bring someone new to the area. If this world either metaphorically or actually went to sleep in the winter, leaving Vaeros alone, I could see him wanting company. Kings don't do well in empty kingdoms."
