Electrum.

Had thoughts about that trope where both get grabbed during a brawl in some random kingdom. Kir is a crown prince just passing through. The redhead is some bandit/mercenary. The guards just arrest everyone without asking questions. Chaos ensues.

Kir is yelling "how dare you treat me like this" — nobody believes him. Too many kingdoms, too many princes. No one knows anyone's face. Everyone in the dungeon just laughs at him.

Oliver (also a bandit) thought it was cringe and told them to leave him alone: "If he really is the son of King N, you'll get hanged tomorrow. Or worse, his daddy will hang you three towns over. Great adventure."

Everyone rolled their eyes at Oliver like "look at this smartass."

At night, the younger one notices Oliver trying to escape and asks to come along. Starts teasing him with his own words about being hanged. But what really works? Kir promises to wake up all the prisoners and the guards if Oliver doesn't take him :33333

They run away. The redhead isn't local either but won't say where he's from. Kir finds walking in silence boring, keeps asking questions. Oliver is not chatty. Puts up with it for like three hours — and then the scene I drew happens:

"So you really are a prince, if you can talk that much”.
