Hm. Actually, this is a better tease than it first appears to be, if I'm reading it right.
Merry's harem and friends call her 'Merry'. Taranis and Andais call her 'Meredith', and unless Andais got a sex-change operation, that's Taranis. It's further hinted by the "Come to me", which is what he kept trying to pull in A Lick of Frost, and I suppose the "dream" could be related to some illusion of his. So this isn't some sort of coy dialogue, it's probably supposed to be from a climatic confrontation scene.
Unfortunately, she's a poor enough writer that one has to really work at it to figure out what she's supposed to be hinting. But if that's indeed what she's trying to do, it's a reasonable choice of 'tease'.
