[Yes, back towards the farm and far, far away from those tricky pixies. Ochako still seems a little nervous, constantly looking over her shoulder, just to ber totally sure they're not even followed, or watched, or...something. She doesn't know. All this sort of stuff she only ever heard of in books and manga!! Never once thought all those things she read were actually going to be true...or come in handy like they did just now.]
S-Sorry, Deku-kun, I...um. I didn't mean to do that s-so suddenly, but...to fairies, or...fae creatures i-in general, names hold a lot of power. Never, ever, give your name to a fae if it asks for it, and especially not your full name. That's how it can control you. [She looks away again, poking her index fingers together.] Fantasy and science fiction are my favorite genres, so I...r-read a lot of books about that sort of stuff, and every fantasy story - th-that wasn't geared toward little kids - that I've come across always said that. That there are rules you have to follow when encountering a fae creature.
If a fae asks 'will you give me your name' or 'can I have your name', they're literally asking to take it. You can be wily and respond like I did by saying 'I'll tell you my name' but...that might make them mad, and always use a nickname or a fake name.
