I love that Challe is silently showing how defiant he is as a character while always searching for a chance to escape. A badass without being loud is so rare these days. It's also sad to see the repercussion of enslaving fairies as a custom distort the fairies' view of freedom, though I admit it's the most unrealistic thing about it. The conflict between fairies and human are mostly background plot that barely has a scene to really emphasize the growing unrest of the conflict.
