As a general, he shouldn't be overly familiar or insistent with lower-ranked officers, especially those not under his command. But he isn't going about this from the angle of rank... And Jasper has to be aware of that, as he's not referring to titles or anything like that.
Is this because he hasn't been around...?
Well, regardless, he's nothing if not persistent. Especially when it looks like Jasper's hesitating to actually leave the stables and is instead focusing on his ... uh, loaf of bread.]
