He was willing to take direction from this human for now; he'd seen the dragon defer to him, so surely that counted for something? He'd have preferred if his other senses could still be of use to him, for better knowing what to do when dealing with humans... but this one, at least, looked little like the ones he'd so often had to defend against....
