The dragon smiled, and nodded. "Yes, but it also works because they realize that I am not really asking for their permission for the most part. The benefits they get, stability and prosperity and a bunch of other things, outweigh the loss of freedom. That and it is rarely an overnight change. They have months of warning that I am planning to move into an area and develop it, and if they don't want to, they can leave. Most of the time we have been welcomed as a hero, and the few times we haven't have been like when Pitax attacked us."<br/><br/>The dragon lord glanced over as the Eldest came in, but after a moment, figured he had nothing to speak to him about that wasn't related to the petition. Devaguea had done some more research on the Eldest, and knew the Prince preferred to be left alone, rather than interact with others. So respecting his desires would earn more points than trying to socialize with him. Besides, this was the first time he and Nyrissa had interacted while alone (for all intents and purposes, Sena was more interested in playing with the Bee than listening to him and Nyrissa).
