The word of a Fairy
In “The Art of the Deal” (The Magicians 3:10), the Fairy Queen revokes the bargain that Earth's last Fairies made with the McAllister family, and says regretfully that henceforth no one will trust a Fairy's word.
But didn't she previously (3:2 “Heroes and Morons”) lie to Fen and Eliot in presenting Fray as their daughter? Or on that occasion did she only imply so by some sleight-of-words, without saying anything literally false?
Best Answer
I suppose technically they don't explicitly say she's their daughter:
I require someone I trust to accompany you.
We call her Frail Human.
Fray for short.
Say hello, Fray.
I'd like you to meet your daughter.
So the Fairy Queen just said that she'd like them to meet their daughter; she didn't say Fray was her. Although it's questionable whether the literal claim that she wanted them to meet their daughter was true, either.
Also, Fray refers to Eliot as "Father", so that raises the question of whether that counts as the fairies being dishonest.
And there's also the question of whether there's a difference between lying and breaking a promise.
