Wrathion straightens a little at that, arms lifting from the table to fold over his chest and body language stiffening.
He's never said, directly, that he wasn't human -- but perhaps he's given himself away in other ways. They did discuss the Doctor being mortal, but regenerating, and he mentioned he thinks that he hadn't observed timeway based powers in mortal races. He'd displayed use of magic, but humans can use magic in Azeroth. Perhaps they cannot in the Doctor's experience? In Hermione's world, not all humans can. Or is it the eyes? Glowing eyes from exposure to high power magic sources in not uncommon in Azeroth, but seems to draw attention here.
Equally, he supposes, it's entirely possible the Doctor thinks he is human but his country has fallen and he's only similar in that respect. A population mostly wiped out by an invading undead army, the last of his people rather than a... species. He'll assume its that. He's totally got this. His cover is brilliant. His overinvestment in the undead dragon is just a coincidence, clearly, never mind the fact that Red already saw directly through it.
"We have undead lords on my world," he says, "and undead who have freed themselves of the control of undead lords. I have observed the cycle before, of those being captured, then freed and no longer quite belonging anywhere. We have a whole city the free undead took it upon themselves to congregate in, to populate as a new united faction. They call themselves the Forsaken."
Perhaps this information will distract the Doctor from the fact that Wrathion did not, in fact, answer part of that question. He does seem easily distracted.
