1. Yes, there are! They don't have the highest regard for the Adopted's intelligence, so they're happy to provide some age-appropriate reading material.

2. They know that fairy tales are popular with human children and how funny that is, so most of the stories are just that: fairy tales. Though most are much darker and twisted and not actually all that suitable for children. There's the very occasional book for fae children hiding in there as well - mostly "fairy" tales meant to teach the dangers of the mortal realm and humans as a whole.

3. They don't give much background on the Seelie/Unseelie courts and past relationships as most of these books are written for the Adopted themselves. They do however warn of stealing, of the dangers of please and thank you, and oddly of the dangers of arsenic, mercury, and uranium.

4. The Fae have a very "it takes a village" approach to childrearing, so everyone is pretty involved regardless of the type of fae or inherent court they belong to. But for the most part, unless the child shows a need for guidance or asks for help, they are treated as a capable and able adult. So, there would be no one actively discouraging an Adopted from talking to a child, but you may notice a couple nearby fae paying attention to make sure you aren't imparting lessons about please and thank yous.

5. They think you're all fascinating and treat you on a more equal level than other fae do, considering you're also learning and new to all this like them. Some of the more "teenager" aged children might act like the adopted are an annoying younger sibling, but in that "only I can make fun of you" protective way.

6. Not exactly, but all the elementals on the bestiary have the ability to turn into a more "elemental" form -- sylphs are air, gnomes are earth, satyrs are animal, dryads are plant, fiends are fire, and merms are water. So for example, sylphs can turn into a gust of wind.

7. They might be volatile, but they also love spilling tea; they're pretty chatty if you catch them in a good mood.
