[He can't be the dragon himself if he is still the heir. And besides "prince" has a great ring to it. Peko you need to gain an appreciation for mystical if not pointless titles.
He somewhat wants to argue that point, vaguely feeling like he should offer a reassuring statement of "well they could have been". But he doesn't. Because again, he doesn't know. And he won't pretend like he does. Kuzuryuu is the closest to "affiliation" with Yakuza he's ever had and he isn't one to try and pretend like that gives him any authority on the matter. Plus it's not like he's the go-to guy for making friends himself, so what would he know?]
So much so that this is truly such a different creature then?
[It's more asking for confirmation than explanation. And he notices that, though he's not really surprised either.]
