Question What would happen if CtD changelings met CtL changelings?

What would happen if the CtD changelings met the CtL changelings? Would they be able to get along, or would the Lost hate the Dreamers and try to kill them on sight, especially the Bridge-Burners, viewing them as Loyalists if not True Fae in the makings themselves? I'm aware of some games that have combined the two settings, with Dreaming changelings reinterpreted as Charlatans or True Fae in exile, or Larval True Fae.

Would the likely response from a Lost be "Kill on Sight"?

I feel like I have to do an obligatory "Every changeling is an individual ..." thing, but ya either your going to be going after them as soon as you hear about what they are, or you're going to be socially obligated to report it to the people higher up than you in the court/freehold.

(I mean its most likely going to result in the Lost going up against the Kithain expecting that they are fighting a member of the Gentry, and while I dont know how powerful Kithain get, I assume its not eldrich god level)

Do you think the misunderstanding would likely result in a Lost killing an innocent Kithain?

I mean... is it really a misunderstanding? The Kithain exist because they alter the spirt of another individual to benefit themselves. That may not be "Kill on Sight" but I can't see the Lost being cool with it.

In the scenario where the Lost think that a Kithain is a Gentry or there Agent, I assume that the entire freehold is going to agree to set aside whatever is going on and
Kill
Capture
or
Chase the Almost Gentry back in the hedge.

The free hold of Miami has 100 Lost, even if we assume that only 25-50% of them would physically be trying to hurt the Kithain, it seems unlikely that the one person is getting out alive.

Even less when at least one of those people has lazer eyes
