I suppose that's one reason to respect him, yes. But dragons are gods - benevolent ones. [Even if this one hides that under grumpyface] They should be respected for that as well.
[The little boy breaks into a huge grin at that. You may not know it, Daitou, but you have just caused him untold relief now that he knows that you know what you're getting into when you, ahem, have tea with Tian. It's about the only good turn the conversation has taken so far.]
Wow! [Now how to make that into a properly childlike reaction...] Can he do magic? Can he make me taste like candy too? [And a serious face.] Should I pray to him?
I think he can do magic - but probably not candy magic. That's just the Sphere. As for praying to him... [He pauses, looking thoughtful] I think you'd have to ask him that question, not me.
Aww... [So Tian has not shown Daitou any particular powers - if the other man was telling the truth, and why would he lie to a child? He fixed Daitou with an innocently fascinated stare.] Do you pray to him?
