Then allow me to share the dilemma.

[ It's not a secret by any means, but he knows that there's always a lot of debate and politics and so on whenever things are shared via news with no context or ability to ask questions, so it's best to explain from the beginning. ]

Celliwig is smaller than Camelot, but their people have long since been charged with the protection of a mirror that enables easy communication between Elphame and Camelot, and passing through their town ensures a much safer pathway to get through to the fae lands. The problem comes in with Camelot City, blessed as it may be. In this world, it has a long history of taking and protecting those with magic from other worlds who need amnesty. Sorcery has a shaky history in a good number of lands, and many of those who come here still have grown up via particular moral codes the faeries don't necessarily agree with.

[ There are a number of good examples-- humans taking fae signals like the banshee's cry as curses rather than warnings or premonitions, a lot of views on necromancy and dark magic, and let's not even get into the church's problems with magic that some worlds face. Arthur things for a moment, taken a brief chance to taste the soup so that he can taste it while it's at its best, a compliment to the chef, then continues. ]

A solid example lies in the case of changelings. While many humans think this a cruel practice, many faeries see it more as an infant exchange program and a longstanding piece of their heritage. We see it as kidnapping- a punishable offense, and punish it as such. They see that then as violence or imprisonment against their kind and an imposition of our values, then seek retribution by their more "eye-for-an-eye" system of justice, and a single incident that started as what they saw as nothing ill escalates to war. Apparently has a fair number of times, so unless we're able to demonstrate a willingness to accept that which is outside of our comfort zones, Celliwig is hearing none of giving us easy passage.

[ He doesn't know how much they do or don't know. There's plenty available in history books, and even that doesn't begin to really explain how the cultural differences may seem atrocious to one but not to the other. Arthur personally thinks changelings are a particularly emotional example that even those from other cultures can see why they would be debatable, so he's hoping that one gets across the point. ]
