This would probably be inconsistency - I think I also got one name wrong =( in the third book.
I have a very bad habit of not noticing eye colours in real life (or clothing unless it's outrageous or the person is defined by their clothing), and because it's a detail that I personally do not notice, I have a list of characters by name with eye colours (well, and facial hair; I'm bad about that too) -- but if I'm absolutely certain at the time, I don't check it >.<.
I think I knew my husband for 6 years before I could reliably say what colour his eyes were >.>, and only then because I deliberately paid attention while asking myself the question.
But the other, I would have to check; Tiamaris -will- speak Elantran; the other Dragons won't.
