Abel smiled as he explained himself, "I'm not really doing this to defend the dwarves, Wizard Cyril. I only spoke out because Lady Carrie didn't have the right attitude."
It was just Abel and Wizard Cyril, but If Bernie was here, he could probably explain how Abel could be so brash with Lady Carrie just then.
After he sent to dwarves to their own eating place, Abel returned to the restaurant to attend to the elves. When he did, he saw Bartoli ordering the servants to serve breakfast. They were passing plates of di san xian to the guests. The portions were small, but the elves weren't known for having big appetites.
Despite the small tension they've had, Abel proceeded to take his seat. Lady Carrie didn't feel displeased to be sharing the same table as him. Actually, she didn't seem to mind at all, which was very strange to the other elves that were with her. From what they could tell, Abel must be very important to be forgiven like this.
