Which was more true than he knew, probably. Curnen didn't think he was old enough to have any memories of Rockhouse. Or at least, who Rockhouse had been in the homeland. And even if he was, it was so long ago now that the whole mess had probably faded from memory. Even the queen probably didn't recall the forester who had displeased her.
Which sucked for Rockhouse, considering waiting for her pardon was all that he lived for.
But she couldn't say these things. At least not right now.
"Ain't that much to us," she said with a shrug. "In some ways, we aren't that different from the humans around us. And then in some ways, whoops, someone tried to hard to dig into our business and they get lost in the woods for God knows how long. The locals know better by now." Fairy circles were alive and well in the new world, only now they took the shape of a barn dance and a forest that would fucking betray you.
