True I wasn't talking about ordering tho.
It was more the the fact he was using that specific human excuse/reasoning to rouse.
When Alphinaud was parlaying with the dragons and trying to explain that is was time to move forward basically with the same reasoning, It got thrown back in his face with the standard "time moves differently for us dragons" Hraesvelgr mentioned it as well.

First thing that came to mind when I got to the Tiamat part was. nononono Niddy you cant have your cake and eating it too.
I am not talking about the amount of time and differences of both cases but just the core reasoning that was used.
