Daniel told her before he dropped her and went down into the lake and watched her progress, he could see the dragon wanted to break free, he was bitting his nails lightly when she was at 75 feet before he saw her transform into a dragon and then not long after that crash land on the ground which made him laugh in relief before he swam up to her as she was inpecting herself in the water. He said to her in a playful tone before he noticed something fluttering in his heart seeing her dragon form. His Leviathan side was sensing something about her dragon, almost like it was calling out to her. Kinda Like how MIke dragon called out to Elsbeth dragon as they fell in love.
