Quoth the Foletti:
“Your boyfriend break up with you? You want me to play a special request? You want me to date you to make him jealous? I don’t know that one. Nah, just kidding. Tell you what… You take some time off from dating to figure out what you want to do… No dating, just you. And don’t worry about him… He’ll be fine. Okay? IF you still want to go out later, I’ll be here. And incidentally, the tip jar is right here…”
Kith Excerpt:
Like the Jiminy Cricket of no certain Disney folk-tale, the Foletti are crickets and counselors of the Italian Dreaming. Every one of the Stirpe (Kith) are honest music-makers with hearts full of sincerity and mouths full of counsel. Even the rare Silvani (Unseelie) Foletti genuinely want to help, but their help usually leads to another getting stronger though heart-ache.
They are close allies of the Gianes family of Fata (Fae) and as such serve as stewards and counselors to the up and coming royalty. Their predilection for whirlwind adventures and romantic endeavors allows them somewhat of a bad reputation, but closer scrutiny highlights the heart-felt intentions of this earnest Fata.
The mostly male Stirpe are found in every domain of the Dreaming, and sometimes even beyond. They have an undisclosed relationship with the Celtic Family of Fae called Grigs, and many trips are taken East for Jam sessions. Despite their travels and wanderlust, however, the Foletti always find their way home again. After all, the Italian courts need the Foletti’s sound advice to keep running smoothly.

“What’s a conscience?! I’ll tell ya! A conscience is that still small voice that people won’t listen to. That’s just the trouble with the world today…”
