What she didn't say is Broth's comments on Meiou. 'A mouse? Really? That's a good way for me not to like you, dwarf!' (This was mental, so only Meiou heard it.)
....duuuurrrrrp! XD Sorry. For some reason, I occasionally imagine Johnny in place of Meiou. I usually correct myself and erase "mouse" and put "rabbit", but this time, I didn't.
However, just like Meiou was cool enough to just run with having mistook my NPC as your dwarf, I'm going to go ahead and run with my mistake. XD
And yes. I am going with "oh gosh he's annoying" stereotype dwarf because you guys are not really supposed to be endeared to him anyway. XD He's just some guy, you know? At best, he'll prepare you for the cave.
And yes, Tark... *I* know you're a half-orc. But the dwarf, like you suspect, doesn't care and would call you orc anyway, even if the distinction was shown to him.
Oh, and don't hold this against all my dwarf npcs. :) MOST of my dwarf npcs are actually tolerable/sane/etc. XD
