Besides, as close to the dwarves as Meridia and Aurelia are, I am sure Meridia had to learn something about them.</em><br/><br/>He smiled at her enthusiasm, but kept to his points. "True, but the scandal may cause irredeemable damage to your reputation. While I am flattered by the interest, at this point a courting might not be the wisest course of action."<br/><br/>In the back of his mind, he was waiting for the Queen to chime in, and order him to accept it. After all, bringing the dwarves into the Summer Court's side would be quite the coup.
