[While L finds dragons inherently intimidating, for their sheer size and power, he can't decide if this one's attitude is more imperious or bossy. Just how much threat lies behind his words and tone? Is it wise to press and test boundaries? How swiftly might he regret even a carefully guided decision toward those ends?
For now, he decides to listen, and wait, and bide his time. He suspects an opportunity to press will present obviously to him, in stark contrast with this impersonal baseline they've established. He's seen nothing like it, yet.
And so, he waits, without comment or quip or question, still standing near enough to see what Lahabrea is doing to the innards of his watch. It's attentive, but limited; he doesn't have the benefit of magnifying lenses, after all
After a time, his focus shifts to Lahabrea himself. L stares as though no one ever told him it was rude, or he at least decided that he didn't care. Grooming, posture, physique, apparent health, presence or absence of injuries. Anything he can tell by sight is something he's sparing no discretion to observe.]
