But his father is 'seriously' trying pair them up. Just to get Erin settled but in his sense half-elf son marrying to high elf girl would lead to high elf child (and thus more better heir long run to become new head to Yelmed or carry out family traditions). Erin's father does love him but his 'high elf' attitude he views his half-elf nature innately defect of sorts (life span wise too short and he doubts his heart can handle loosing both his child and grandkids by old age before his own age is up).<br/><br/>So most likely Vanessë may get invitation to dinner by family's 'old friend' same time Erin returns home during one the trips and leading to 'supposedly accidental' dinner meeting (Erin would see right through his father's ploy so very least he plays as entertaining relative of the host but any romance is entirely decided by interaction alone than follow pressure by his father). Erin is bit braggart and bit flirt but overall he is good person overall despite his flaws. Perhaps radiantly confident compared to more reserved Vanessë (as he needs confidence as merchant to make and seal deals).
