"Sure," he says, and he goes looking for the adventurers.

They have left his room and are in a courtyard talking about the Worldwound.

"Carissa likes the plan but can't figure out why it's on offer and would like to be told."

"Can't figure out why it's on offer? I mean, we've been - trying to find an alternative to killing her, right, and this seems like it is one."

"- yes, but so is just insisting on jumping straight to getting married."

"I would prefer to marry someone who is excited about this and feels like they got incredibly lucky to have me interested in them and cries with joy and calls on all their friends who are all jealous and is, you know, shy on our wedding night but not mostly thinking about how favorably it compares to death."

"I see."

"Outside Cheliax I think this is a pretty standard preference."

"I hadn't especially thought about it before."

This gets some raised eyebrows but no one says anything. 

"I can try to explain to her if you think it'd be helpful."

"I think so, yes."

"Okay. Who wants to chaperone."

"I can be there, if that's what you mean."

"That is what I mean."

So Kyeo accompanies him to the dungeon.

"Hey."

"Hey." She should maybe say his name but she's not quite sure she'll get the vowel right and maybe it'd be insulting to mispronounce it. 

"Kyeo thought I should maybe explain - why we're trying to work something out so I can take you with me without marrying you."

"I was confused about why you wanted that, yeah."

"I, uh, I want to marry someone who likes me, and who wants to be married to me. It seems really petty to let you die because you don't like me, but, my preference, for a wife, is definitely someone who likes me. So if I can keep track of you and marry some other person who likes me, then you don't die and I get what I want here."

"Kyeo said you were going to arrange to have your friends come by and say you hadn't touched me. Is that - the paladins insisting, or -"

"I would hope they would insist but we haven't run this by them yet at all. But, uh, you don't have to be going for Good to think you shouldn't rape people."

"But to - go out of your way to arrange inconveniencing other people to check and, what, report you if you did -"

"....yes, that'd be the idea, that they'd take you away and report it."
