Au'dtair, in no way, was an expert in his pet's language. For example, he didn't have a context for shit that made sense. However, his computer was able to provide him with a few approximate translations for 'blow up' using an archaic language that has been long-dead for centuries.
Given the fact that his pet has annoyed a whole unit of pantroglodytes, his computer gave the translation of 'to destroy, or kill something with a bomb' a 95% accuracy. Second was 'an expression of anger' at 72%.
Working under the assumption that this pet was going to use an explosive device to blow something up, he decided not to take any chances. Raising his shields to 100%, he initiated his anti-gravitational settings and flew into the air at a rapid speed.
