[More fidgeting.] Dragons - the dragons in Tamriel. Their words give them ... power. Create storms with the right three words, or... tear a soul out of someone.
But - here. Here they're just. Words. They aren't words of power.
[ He actually looks fairly interested by that and there's a part of him that thinks it would be handy to have words that could give someone power. But he also knows how quickly that could turn very bad, considering the way he's seen power used. ]

[Not even a single hesitation there. Because the Dragon Blood, the Thu'um, it was terrifying Not the way he'd wanted to learn, or even use, magic.]
