He chuckled, “of course I know, laddie, we were both in on getting revenge against the nuisance.”
Green eyes gleamed in the corner as the boy seemed to rise from the shadows, “aww, but still more tame than ever in my charge.” He was unimpressed. “Your worth matters little to me, I am not here for it.”
Even if he was on Neverland or in another realm, word would still drift and reach him. It felt in his very blackened heart. A scratching that wouldn’t leave. The tug of the connection. It was not severed, it was just oddly tugged. And the wind still drifted and reached his ear. The Autumn Prince disappeared.
There was not any fear in the boy king as he looked coldly at the dragon, but not making eye contact. “Your father hurt our Wil, he and I took revenge. Simple as that. The riddle is there, so simple, but maybe to simple for Asher.”
“I am here because I want to know if the prince had visited you. A simple yes or no, Devrim.” He looks at the dragon, almost looking past the guise and into the very heart of the dragon. “And I would like you to not lie to me, laddie.” He meant it as a threat of consequence.

“My fathers are not a nuisance, ... and definitely not BOTH of them.” Devrim defensively let out a snarl, nostrils expanding as slips of acidic smoke burned from his nose, as the King of Neverland slowly appeared to the Dragon’s eye.
“I am not tame, if I’m choosing it. The friends that I have are of my own free will.”
Pan was getting to him, already. He had to ignore him. They were just digs to get under his scales, just like he did when he was a little kid.
“They didn’t do anything to Wil. Wil is still alive. They told me what happened. Wil and Harry had trespassed on my father’s property with intent to kill him. My father could have done far worse, but he didn’t. You should be grateful. Flip this around, I know you would have killed me. I was a Lost Boy, remember?”
He noted that Pan wouldn’t look him in the eyes. Pan knew.... but it also showed he had a weakness, too. Devrim internally filed that.
Devrim looked straight at him without falter, something he wouldn’t have been able to do growing up. “Yes, he did. A while ago after you turn my father human. He offered to give me a hint because he wanted me to be an example for him, with how I get along with the humans. He left soon after that, though. Why? Shouldn’t you know where he is? He’s your friend.”
