"And now we will be together forever and ever and--"

Some problems have occurred to Kaleva. "How am I going to tell my dad? --How do two guys have kids?"

"I assumed we would have to keep it a secret. I think it's probably impossible for us to have kids and also I would be a terrible parent but I guess we could adopt? Or, uh, you could adopt and I could hang around in secret or something?"

"Why would we have to keep it a secret? Auradon doesn't have men who fall in love with men. We are a new thing."

"People will think it's weird? Even if they don't think it's wrong they probably won't like it because it's weird. Is my guess, I mean, it's your world, maybe people here don't mind weird as much."

"I mean being weird is bad and probably villainous but we are in love so I think that outweighs it?"

"Then, I guess we can tell your dad? Or tell someone else first to see how they take it, but then maybe they'd tell your dad . . ."

"Yeah but my dad doesn't know you're here. I'm not really... fond... of telling him things..."

"Uh. Hm. We could tell him I exist and then wait a month and then tell him we're in love?" Or we could run away to another country that is a stupid idea and never works.

"--or we could run away to Auradon City and try to tell people there."

"You think that would work?" 

"Well, I am Duke of Weselton, I assume they would have to let me talk to the king and explain that you're from another world?"

(Kaleva sounds less convinced of this as his sentence continues.)

"Is there a reason it needs to be the king in particular." Governments that aren't Kaleva are still scary.

"I, uh, think the king handles things like contacts with new worlds?"

"I guess? I feel like it's not really a big enough deal to get a king involved over unless you think more people from my world are going to show up, but probably the king has, like, people who decide if something is important enough to bother him about?"

"Well, probably the king will want to do something about all the people being tortured for eternity. It seems like the sort of thing kings would care about."

"That's--he's not going to--it won't work and he'll probably end up damned too! But it's very brave of him."

"Don't worry, in the worst case scenario true love will fix it. True love can defeat anything."

"The examples in your books are pretty impressive, but that's all in this universe that God seems to be ignoring for some reason. I just--it's--" he's scared shitless of God starting to pay attention to this universe and him in particular and it's absolutely affecting his judgement, is what it is.

Lev kisses him.

"I love you so we're going to figure out how to keep you safe."

Kiss. "I hope so. I think I'm more scared now than when I had nothing to lose."

"We put our gods in the Isle, how much harder could your gods be?"

"None of those were the omnipotent creator of the universe, though. I admit that we have to try if it's even a tiny bit possible, but. Do you know if the king is the sort of person who'll rush off to do things with no evidence that it's a good idea?"

"I don't think so? It seems like he's been a pretty good king, all things considered. Even though he's only been the king for a year."

"I still don't think it's a good idea to talk to him. But. We can go to the city and learn more?" Maybe Kaleva will talk him into talking to the king; maybe he'll talk Kaleva into not doing that; either way it means they don't need to agree right this minute.
