When a fae uses the word biscuit, which kind of biscuit does it mean? Is it a cookie or a bread product?
What kind of Fae?
Spring Court: A delightful confection of sugar cane, honey, daydreams and a bit of flour to hold it all together.
Summer Court: A sweet cookie full of honey and sunflower seeds, with a hint of lemon and orange. Mortals sit in the fields, enjoying the sun for days on end.
Autumn Court: A dense bread made from ground nuts. Just a hint of sweetness in the white icing that reminds you of the lost days of summer, and warns that winter is coming.
Winter Court: A hard cracker that breaks your teeth. Mortals cannot digest such things, and the sharp cookie shards cause as much pain leaving as they did going in. But just one bite makes them addictive and a mortal will crawl along a path of broken teeth to beg for another.
Interesting, never occurred to me to take their court into consideration. I am hoping Autumn, but Summer is fine also. There are a couple of particular opinions on the subject that I would consider definitive. Barring those, I'm just going to hedge and try to be prepared for either outcome. This is a real Schrödinger's biscuit situation. :)
