I was reading an article that postulated that the singularity was only a few years away. All that information, that video? What if the singularity has already happened? What if the AIs that create images and videos, that can write, the ones that were fed diets of YouTube videos and comments, what if they had access to all of the info on our phones?

The fae aren't human, and it's pointless to judge them by human standards. There are some things to keep in mind, when dealing with them.

1. Many of them (the most powerful) are very long lived, but they don't have many children. They have never learned how to deal with the angst of death. Humans have, which the fae don't understand.

2. They are jealous of power and very territorial.

3. It's said that the fae can't lie. This isn't entirely correct. It's more correct to say the fae don't lie. If they lie, they lose power and become more vulnerable to death.

4. Because they don't have many children and because they don't understand humans, they can be enchanted by humans. Much like humans are enchanted by kittens or puppies. They can adopt humans. They can have children with humans. They can kidnap children (changelings).

5. While they don't lie (if at all avoidable) they can tell the truth in such a misleading way that it seems like a lie.

6. Actions speak louder than words.

If you look at Mr. Vesper's actions with this in mind, the story becomes quite different. The icy lady threatened both you and Mr. Vesper. As soon as it happened, he realized the only way to save you was to cut you out of his life. You kept coming back to the woods, calling attention to yourself, when maybe the Ice Queen would have forgotten you.

So, he sent a clear message to you and the Ice Queen. Unfortunately, since you're not fae, you didn't hear the message. He sent an absolute failure of an "assassin". This fae made noise to let you know he was there, giving you time to arm yourself. He was weak, even by human standards. He gave you a message from Mr. Vespers that he was to "get rid of you". Not kill you. He even swore to you that he wasn't a murderer. Basically, he was a messenger.

The message to the Ice Queen was that you were of no interest to him. He was willing to have you killed. (But since he didn't have you killed, we know that part wasn't true.)

He had your word, in writing (and possibly with a bit of blood from your fight), promising not to come back to the woods, and thus not drawing the attention of the Ice Queen again.

Finally, at great risk to himself, he showed up to your concert and applauded you.

He loves you. His rage about your parents was real. His nickname for you was a double protection. It meant your name wasn't known to all the fae, and it indicated that you were of little importance. Of course, by showing you off to his "friends", he showed them just how important you are. When you (a human) were able to use fae magic and he showed them that, some of them may have felt that fae power (which is the only thing that keeps them from the True Death) was being stolen and given to a human. They would never be able to get it back.

I really need to include a seventh thing about the fae, because numbers are important. But I think I'll leave it to you to find the seventh thing.
