Her guide. It isn't a foreign concept for Maleficent; in fact, it is quite familiar. She has relied on a guide for a long time now — a raven who became her companion, back home. One who had acted as her wings back when she was without them for sixteen long years, but even after she regained what stolen from her, Diaval continued to serve as a medium between Maleficent and human affairs.
And she finds herself relieved by the offer, for it will allow her to maintain the certain detachment that she needs, from these human things.
"I shall rely on your experience, then." She's still awkward with this, with conversing even with someone she feels more at ease around than the others; Maleficent struggles with conveying how she feels. But she does mean this; it's an offer she's pleased by. The offer further extends to him sampling some of the drink for her, and the fey looks at him for a long moment, surprised by it. Is it truly generosity? Perhaps he wishes to stay in her good favour as well; their budding alliance in this place would be beneficial to them both. Still, she isn't used to such an offer, but if he cannot be affected by poisons....
"All right. Though if there are indeed some hidden magics to them that our senses cannot detect, they may affect you."
Though she's agreeing to his offer, this is a means for her to warn him, because she has known dark magic very well, and there may be dangers beyond poison.
