As someone who’s always been hyper-motivated and felt like he needed to prove himself, current-day (ask blog era) Ved is very unfamiliar with concepts like “chilling” or “relaxing”- barley even taking time to SLEEP. in fact, when he FIRST gets thrown in the slammer, he’s OBSESSED with escaping and resuming his takeover, even managing to get free a few times, before getting unceremoniously teleported back into his cell by princess Lezah (they’re still a bonded pair, so she can locate him pretty easily- not to mention the FIRST few escape attempts where he went DIRECTLY to her begging forgiveness)

HOWEVER, while Ved was obsessing about escape attempts, DEV had his hands VERY full with two godkids, so he finally had to lock in and study up on the rules, putting more effort into his job than he ever had. as a result, all of the sudden, Ved found himself feeling sleepy, and content to just exist, in a way he’d never experienced before. After many years in prison, (while dev fought for his life trying to godparent two shithead teenagers at once) Ved grew more and more comfortable with the concept of taking it easy, mellowing WAAAY out over time, to the point that he no longer cared about escaping, and had no interest in extending his sentance, ESPECIALLY after his pups were born.

With the threat of not seeing his pups over his head, Ved actually gains some trust from fairy-kind, and becomes very helpful, being allowed to use his genius again to design his signature brilliant inventions (tho they’re more electronic advancements and less superweapons and than in his younger years) Ved loves to show his babies his blueprints, and is even allowed to attend Dev’s third baby shower in person (tho he is HEAVILY guarded, and kept away from tech of any kind lmao)
