For some reason I imagine a Fae on caffeine as one of those bugs constantly bumping against the glass of a light.

And Mab's so full of it, she could pull those puppets out of thin air!

Ah, Fae shenanigans.  When they lack a knowledge leads to people dying in some horrible way or another.
I believe in folk lore starvation a common theme.  I could be wrong though, it's been ages since I looked at folklore of any sorts.

At least Mab doesn't own any red caps.

Jyrras looks so frightened in that last frame.  Got his innocent/cute eyes out for the occation. :rolleyes

Is it me or does Mab sound a bit like Albanion/Nutmeg?  Nutmeg in disguise said pretty much the same thing in explaining Fae deaths.

Well, Abel's description of creating things through magic said complex objects are too hard to create to be practical- perhaps making puppets is much more complex that it is worth. A random piece of wood would be easier to create then shape it into puppet shape.

There's still the question of why Jyrras should want to go into the Fae realm.  Sense of scientific curiosity, maybe, but there's really no reason to take Mab and Nutmeg up on their offer.

Wwwwwwwwelll, if you ask me, both Fa'lina and Mab are, from what we've seen, members of the Insanely Powerful/Powerfully Insane classifications of entities in the DMFA continuum.  Like Fa'lina, I suspect, Mab is far, far more intelligent AND prescient than she generally appears.  (Fa'lina's been showing off more lately due to it being extremely plot-convenient for her to do so...)

In short, Mab has only seemed innocent in the past, and we're seeing something more akin to the "deeper" Mab now.  However this doesn't mean she doesn't prefer being silly and cute, and in fact I'd expect her to snap back to her usualy cheery, seemingly scatterbrained self any time now.

I think Mab just finds the story so horribly boring she's using the lack of puppets as an excuse to get out of telling it.

:mowhappy   I wonder what amazing patches and other things Jyrras could make in the fae world ? It is the source  of the power, and as Mab pointed out, each fae is best at one type of magic. Maybe this is why Mab's magic may be a bit 'off key' at times.

Puppets make everything better, like Mab's little Fae discourse...

The fae mind certainly is a strange thing, the race is very chaotic it seems... random, whimsical and carefree.  They at least appear that way, though they are capable of being serious there seems to be little call for it... boring stuff and what.
