You can tell because he sounds extra serious, and because he gets this innocent look in his eye," which is as clear as day to Magnus (Hearthstone, Galahad, and Hanguang-jun expert), but might not be as visible to anyone else, "and also leans back a teeeeeeeenny tiny amount. See?" and he nods at Galahad's posture. "And since he's teasing, I bet you could ask him to help you read your stories to Temeraire. Right, Galahad?"
