"I've heard that a dragon can always find a princess."

"We can always find," said the dragon, "what we hoard."

"You have been known to gather princesses. You'd know."

"Yes, but..." The dragon hesitated. "If she doesn't know, it's not my place to tell."

"Oh," said the prince. "What if they ask?"

@MicroSFF a lil help please? I'm lost 
@Korawolfsrain @MicroSFF i think the prince /princess is questioning their gender?
@eowyn @Korawolfsrain @MicroSFF that's my interpretation too, but I'm still confused.

@riffraff @eowyn @Korawolfsrain @MicroSFF my interpretation too

because "prince" was revealed at the end thus serving as a punchline

my interpretation

@saxnot @riffraff @eowyn @MicroSFF the author themself answered me :3
If you guys look at my original post you can see their response 

@Korawolfsrain @riffraff @eowyn @MicroSFF yeah prince is questioning her gender

@[email protected] The prince has started question their gender, and wonder if they might be a princess. They've gone to ask the dragon, hoping for a definitive answer. The dragon could say, but refuses to, not wanting to influence the young royal.

@eowyn @MicroSFF yeah, that was my idea as well, but it feels like a rocky conclusion where its usually more smooth
