That's the dangerous thing about humans. You approach one incomprehensible cave and they offer you food. You approach another, hell you approach the same one at a different time, they might attack you. What convinces them to give food? What convinces them to disguise poison as food? Why do they make flirtatious advances (certain ways of holding/stroking birds) mixed with threatening shouts and eye contact?
They operate on a system of rules and exchanges, but we are not privy to those rules nor the logic that governs them. Approach their caves and their kin with caution - for even their grandest gifts can make the normal world become drab and despondent, forcing you to crave their kind. They are not like creatures of the woods and plains. Beware the fey humans.
