>Textev for this would be appreciated, if it exists. The only comment >about a Dragaeran being "short" that I can recall is Aliera, I think I have to retract that assertion. I'd been skimming over the arrival of Kiera at Vlad's office in _Jhereg_ and sort ran the two sentence fragments "I thought she was tall when I was eleven" into "she was still more than a head taller than I" into something like "she was a head taller than me when I was eleven". In fact, it's kind of odd how the brain works. I know clearly that Aliera is described as short, only slightly taller than an average Easterner. Despite that, in my mind's eye Aliera is generally about the same size as Morollan while Kiera is about the same size as Vlad. This probably says something about how my imagination puts Vlad and Kiera into a "compatible" category. Anyway, I was wrong. There's no reason to assume that Kiera and Sethra are significantly different in height.
