It had been foolish to associate Malleus, Lilia, and Sebek with any of the fae from your world. They could never reach the level of foulness and vitriol that Síoda and the Erlkönig’s court possess. For god’s sake, Malleus looked nearly in tears apologising to you on your porch—the fae from your world would rather draw out their guts by hand then apologise. 

“... Henchman?” A drowsy and confused voice causes both of you to snap your heads towards the kitchen doorway. Your gaze goes down, down, down... until it lands on the familiar grey figure that should have been still sleeping on your bed upstairs. You can see the faint apparitions of Jasper and the other ghosts floating a few feet away.

Grim looks between you and Síoda for a moment, and then at the way Síoda is gripping your wrist, as the confusion begins to clear from his eyes. His tail twitches and you see the flames in his ears burn brighter as his fur begins to bristle.

"Just who d’you think you are, comin’ in here an’ manhandling my henchman in my home?” he growls, the familiar child-like attitude of his shining through. You know he’s about to blow flames at Síoda—and you also know that such an act will end in nothing good for either of you.
