Lambert doesn't remind Cole of the Inquisitor. A different person who goes by the Commander reminds Cole of the Inquisitor. But, as he's got trouble with words and doesn't realize that you should specify these things when you're talking about multiple people, Cole is blissfully unaware that he might have goofed something up.
Thankfully, the clarification's going to be unintentionally cleared up as Cole answers the question.
"Lambert has a bit of magic. The Commander has more." Cole hasn't actually seen either of their magics in action, but he knows. It's things they talk about or worry about, small little frets that linger in the mind.
"A lot of people have magic here." Pause. "They'll tell you about it." A lot of people won't friggen shut up about their magic here.
