They are short and have comparatively baby faces, so they can be mistaken for teenagers although they are referring to them as children. In this LN they could pass off as being 12 or 14 years old.
why are all the dwarfs so tall! only the rep in the castle is short? Like they lampshade it by saying "I'm are tall for a dwarf", but why even make them dwarfs if your ganna makes them taller than 5 feet!?? You have other races just make them that!! The dude already looks more like a rugged elf than a dwarf.
It just annoying for it feel like unless they are a shota or lolli (and its really pedo when they make dwarfs look like literal children but call them adults) short characters aren't suitable as romantic partners! EMBRACE THE SHORTNESS AND FACIAL HAIR!!!
Maybe there are tall because a continous interracial sex with tall people like humans, and the offprings of those mix have sex with a dwarf and then interracial, just guessing
Minor thing, but wasn't that two nights before? They were at the reception event, then the next day they were at the ball where they were introduced, then that night the avians took them away and they were found the next day.
