"The thing is..." Teddy sighs after the kiss and pulls Tommy to a soft white sofa, so he can sit on it and take off his cape and crown. Dinner is for Dada, not Emperor Dorrek. "After Mother, I always thought the color white was going to send me into fits. And it did, at first. I was so fucked up there when it started. And now... it's just you colored."

Which was silly. Because Teddy and Tommy were BOTH very green, right? Teddy sighs and lets go of Tommy's hand at last.

"I should let you know that, uh, if you stick around... Well, I don't think accidental kids will happen again. I've learned a lot about being a Skrull. Apparently it took us so long because of the Kree blood. Something about how it interacts with Skrull genetics makes it a lot harder for us to have a kid. It would totally have to be more deliberate. And..."

There's a knock from beyond his door. From the main room's door. Teddy curses and stands.

"I've got to answer that. You can stay here."
