Lily instinctively looked towards Hayna, sizing her up.
...She's not short at all?
Could it be that being a mixed dwarf doesn't affect one's height?
Noticing the surprised look in Edward's group, Hayna's father was amused and burst into a hearty laugh.
The dwarf gulped down a big mouthful of beer, moistening his throat.

"Their irresponsible bastard of a real dad ran off—before Jack was even born, he ran away from Eagle Cape Village."
The dwarf uncle said bluntly: "I think that kid must have fallen under some spell, or got too carried away with playing around with his master—that's also why I don't want this girl to go study on Glass Island. After all, her stupid real dad is on Glass Island."
