Devaguea had listened to the green with amusement, but otherwise simply listened and learned. While none of the ideas were IMMEDIATELY relevant, they were all good ones, and could be tweaked to work for him with only some work. He was taking notes, however, so the treasurer would have more than just his memory to work with. That he held a conversation with Sarithil while taking notes on the discussion likely only heightened the anticipation of questioning him.<br/><br/>Then the copper spoke, and while Dev had several ideas just to play with the crowd a bit, he decided to be serious for this. After all, many of them would be doing him a very minor favor if this played out like he wanted.<br/><br/>So after a moment, and the leader stopped speaking, Dev nodded and stood up, changing his form from kobold to elven, to be easier to be seen. "Seeing as the reason I came to the conclave was hoping to find out who my parents were, or at least get pointed in their possible direction, it would be best to start at the very beginning."<br/><br/>So, he gave some of his story, that his egg was stolen by 'someone' from his parents, likely at least one gold dragon, and sold to a merchant that sold him to a Taldor noble and wizard. He didn't mention the gladiator fights, but did mention the vivisections and the hunts. He talked about being mind controlled for at least fifty years and stuck in a cage when he wasn't being used, before finally slipping free and murdering the noble and fleeing north, but didn't mention the fact he had eaten some of the bastard as a sign of ultimate disrespect<em>(after all, metallics don't eat sentients, so eating him said he wasn't. Plus he got to shit him out later.)</em>After that, he mentioned that he wandered around for a bit before arriving in the northern River Kingdoms, and decided to try and make a home there, before heading down to Osiria to look around after finding another traveller from there, where he met Fynnyntyss.<br/><br/>That he didn't mention his kingdom, the Lantern King, the black dragon Ilthuliak, how he met Amvarean, Nyrissa, Pitax, or how he covered enough ground to get to Osiria in a decent time frame made his silver sigh as she covered her eyes, though he knew her well enough to know she was trying to not laugh at his antics. Done with the VERY abbreviated story of his life that missed out on at least half of the important events and didn't explain anything about how he got enough wealth in less than a decade to be better outfitted than most of the rest of the dragons at the meeting combined, he turned to audience and smiled. "And that is some of the high points of my story. Questions?"
