That One

I started a fire, mid-forest.

I flash stewed some jerky, and just as I went to take a bite, a fae appeared on the edge of the fire's range.

"Hello traveller. May this one partake in the heat?"

I nodded, slowly.

The fae approached the fire and warmed themselves. After a moment, they looked at my bowl.

"May this one partake in the meal?"

I nodded, slowly.

I poured some into a second bowl, and handed it over. They ate it quickly, then looked at me.

"May this one partake in the human making?"

I spat out my food, quickly.
