She laughed and the tips of her ears turned pink as she let go of him. "It's, uh... it's a good thing." Her smile faded and she looked self-conscious. "I'm not very tall."
Her eyes widened and her ears turned a slight shade of pink as she blinked rapidly. "Gods. I must seem tiny."
She glowered before laughing a little, tucking her hair behind her ear. "That's true... I don't think I've seen a dwarf community before."
They kept walking, eventually they made it out of the deeper forest and found a wide dirt path to follow.
