It wasn't without reason that Kolt's expression changed dramatically. In fact, the moment he heard 'Elizabeth' calling him a 'male of the outer plane' in a contemptuous tone, he realized that her identity was really unusual. Dragons were a long-lived race. Although Kolt was slightly older than Erin, he was considered to be knowledgeable, where basically only natives of outer planes and plane travelers would speak to him in such a contemptuous tone.
