The response Elidibus is given is eye-opening in more ways than one. He immediately straightens up and makes sure his hand is out of cage reach; though a question of whether the bars will hold or should hold remains unanswered. And moot besides. Clearly, Lahabrea is more than capable right now of unlocking the cage entirely and making good the suggestions he is giving.
Back to the eye-opening matter. First, Lahabrea is certainly not 'feral'. But Elidibus would be hard-pressed to think the Speaker would have, back on their worlds, turned such ireful words on his fellow Ascians. But there, Elidibus himself would not have given reason to.
It is hard to say if he felt any true emotion. Without a mask, it was easy to see realization and thoughtful reflection. But fear, surprise, and apology are... lacking in the usual set of Elidibus's expression when he no longer needs to offer pretense.
"I misjudged the conditions presented by the full moon's sway," the Emissary admits. "I would be interested to hear how you've spent them in the past. How they may differ or not to this moment." Just as Elidibus himself is being asked of his activities during the moon most likely to influence him. But first, "I may be finding it difficult to fully shake the influences of regularly interacting with mortals." Not so much that he's becoming mortal, but that he finds it hard to transition between the act- as he becomes more accustomed to the routine of mortality- and reality. "Is it this world and this prison of a body? Or is it my relative lack of recent experience with a host?" The thoughtful rhetoric is shrugged away. "No doubt it is just as well I will be moving into the rooms here within the week." Provided of course Lahabrea spares him the divestment of his physical form.
Now there's the last new moon. "I took advantage of the small rise in power to practice control." Truthfully Elidibus was fortunate that his first new moon, one that was unusually strong at that, was within two weeks of his arrival. Next month will be... interesting as the world brings him more under its sway. "Enchantment seemed to come with particular ease. For the most part, I sought to blend the magick here with the techniques of a warrior." Elidibus takes the time to crunch another cookie. "There was... some success. In time, it should be perfectly viable." He ended up holding a combo chain for a full round even.

Once. But it was a start.
