Warbreaker and Mistborn

[Elendtheking]

So I was rereading Warbreaker and I've come with two questions:

1)Does Nightblood changes over time?(Vasher describes it as getting more subtle)

2)When Vasher saves the priest's daughter and returns her to her family, he's able to calm the girl and the family's dogs. This seems like it's very close to emotional allomancy. I was wondering if anyone had an explanation for this.

1) Well, Nightblood is sentient. Is it too much to assume that it can try a different method for things after enough failure?

2) I believe it is in the Warbreaker Annotations that calming animals, children and the like was meant to be a subtle sign for the reader that he was a Returned, but I cannot remember if a reason for why Returned can do that was given or not

Quote

In this chapter, we also get the first hints that children and animals like Vasher. That’s another hint about his nature—though a very, very subtle one, since I haven’t talked about how animals and children all like Returned. They can sense the divine Breath within him, and it comforts them.
