At the mention of dwarves Cariâthwen suddenly began to remember the time that she had snuck away from home to spend some time with a family of dwarves. One time her mother saw her sneeking out and followed her. To this day she still remembered her mothers words, "Cariâthwen! You know I don't like you sneeking out... And DWARVES!! Why can't you be like everyone else and go play with your cousin." But Cariâthwen knew she wasn't like her cousin, and she wasn't like her kind. Cariâthwen had a smile across her face. "You know Seleven, I actually got Thorn from a dwarf. He was the first dwarf I met. Even then he believed he could do anything. Quite rare in a dwarf, especially to become such a close friend of mine. But that was many years ago and despite all feelings that we are talking about the same dwarf we couldn't be.Plus I believe Koibur went into hiding some years ago."
Cariâthwen always felt safe around dwarves. Her mother never understood her like the short bearded people from the mountains did. Koibur was the only true friend besides Thorn that Cariâthwen ever had. She never talked about Koibu much for she knew not the company she was in. But she had a feeling that Seleven was going to be good company.
