I guess, it makes sense in that context, but it still seems odd to me.

So... Anyway, back on topic (sort of). In video games, and comics, and a few movies, LotR being the only exception I can think of, Dwarves seem to have a disproportionately high Scottish accent. And yes, this is something I've noticed for a while, and it's bugged me a bit since I first noticed it. I figure there must be some lost cultural reference I just don't get.

She might. You never know.
