It took Devaguea until the second incorrect bragging from the group, from Sak'bas no less, to realize something was wrong. Thoug hhe didn't bother dispelling the illusion, but instead started taking notes for the more... risque ideas. A few of them he would enjoy, some his partners would, and a few were just... interesting. He did, however, make a point of dispelling the illusion when it started getting silly, and loudly grumbled about it not being his fault they were within his hearing, before returning to his light doze. And shameless eavesdropping. After all, no one told him anything until it kicked in his front door and cursed him anymore, in an attempt to keep him from aggravating another ancient, powerful being.<br/><br/>Devaguea looked over the lake at their third stop, the scene nearly picturesque with only a few fluffy clouds dotting the sky, a handful of small boats out in the middle of the lake earning their livings, clearly thinking of his reply. After a moment, he nodded. "I would suggest trying for everything. As several people have told me, the best revenge you can get on someone isn't killing them; it is ruining their plans and then living and enjoying life afterwards. The you that needed to be punished has been, and the best revenge you can get her is going out and being loved. And a lot of mortals here adore you already. Powerful, wise, gorgeous, exotic, and willing to help. Very few places can say they have such an individual helping their lord keep them safe. And I would definitely enjoy having you stay around. As that fight managed to drive home, at some point most of my current companions are going to die or leave, so having someone around who will be around for at least a couple decades would be... comforting."<br/><br/>The dragon lord gave a weighty but not terribly long pause before continuing. "And if we happen to decide to we like spending time with each other... well, lets just see what happens? We can revisit the questions about the future when it gets here."<br/><br/>Devaguea did not mention the fact that her sisters and medusa apprentice were also being treated for their suffering before Nyrissa got her soul back, as well as being helped acclimate to being on the material plane again. Nyrissa had acclimated immediately due to Devaguea taking her under his aegis, and while her sisters and medusa were also under it, the acclimation was less powerful, but they were getting over the unease caused by the stability of the material plane.
