When Daniel and Aeron finally got back to their area, and were sure that nobody would be able to listen to them, Daniel looked at Aeron, and formulated a thought in his mind, to which Aeron responded by saying "He won't. He knew you were telling the truth, and decided to let us leave because you've given him something to think about. He is likely trying to prove that you were wrong, by witnessing to your failure."
The two had taken the habit to communicate with each other in a certain way. Whenever Daniel had something secret to say, he would look at Aeron, and formulate a thought in his mind. Aeron had promised not to read Daniel's mind if there wasn't a good reason. One of which, was when they had to communicate secretly with each other.
What Daniel had asked to Aeron, was whether he thought that the dragon would screw them over in some way, or maintain his word and let them be for the next month.
