Teddy looked confused when she said it was just a feeling, for some reason the child thought there should be physical differences between males and females or something like with other animals. He just shrugged that off though and focused on stuffing his face.
"Is she gonna be mad?" He asked, anxiously, when she brought up visiting the Lady Commander once again. The first time that she'd said it he'd been too distracted by food to bother questioning it but now he was fed and worried. The thought of being assigned to some mentor he didn't know wasn't really a pleasant thought for him either but he supposed at this point he didn't really have a choice.
That was when the baby dragon decided that he was going to try and help his rider. He scrambled off of Valera's lap and climbed across the tabletop to go and sit on his riders lap instead, looking up at the boy he met Teddy's eyes and then spoke. "It will be okay, if she tries anything I"ll protect you! The baby wasn't attempting to speak only to Teddy so Valera would be able to hear his words too. He may be a baby but he was already protective of his little rider.
Teddy gently stroked the dragon's scales when the baby climbed into his lap before openly gaping, wide eyed, when he heard a voice inside his head. It seemed impossible but the way the dragon was looking him right in the eye let him know that the baby could in fact speak to him. "What the hell? Is he, talking? How can he do that?" Teddy asked, glancing over at Valera.
