He jolted awake at the sudden noise, summoning his mace on instinct. When The Duke turned to see Roman, he sighed in relief and put it away.

"Good morning to you too..."

Roman exhaled and yawned.

“You ready to make that guy...?”

The Duke nodded and stretched (aka tried to crack every bone in his body).

"He's 'pposed to be the embodiment of Honesty, honey badger animal trait, yadda yadda yadda..."

“Sooo, go for really sweet and shy? Y’know, considering this is the exact opposite of Deceit?”

He chuckled.

The Duke tried to contain his laughter.

"Yep!"

“Alright, let’s go do this in the imagination-“

The two of them sunk down. The imagination was still trying to recover from the split, but it would still be fine for usage by them.

Throughout the day, they went through several different designs for Honesty. They eventually decided on one.

"...Yknow what would be even better? If we got Patton to pick a name for him! Cuz like... Patton and Janus are opposites and we know he'll pick the cutest and most unsuspecting name- You gotta ask him though, cuz he doesn't like me."

Remus shrugged.

[who's taking Patton]

[you, since i'm taking Roman]

"Oooh, yes!!"

Roman went to Patton's room.

Patton was just waking up. He was in his cat onesie and put his glasses on, taking them from the bedside table.

"Morning, padre! Sooo..."

Roman explained everything.

"Oh, hey kiddo! Nice to see you!"

Patton listened carefully.

"A name... Gosh, I'm not too good with those... Um... Carson... Caleb... Cambodia... uh... Kaelem!!! What about Kaelem? Kaelem Everton!"

[...buddy, Cambodia is a country.]

[why, my boyfriend's name? of course, it's c a m b o d i a]

"Kaelem Everton Sanders... I like that! Thanks, Patton!"

He went back to Remus.

"How about Kaelem? Kaelem Everton?"

[pff, what about my crush on C a n a d a]

Remus stared at Roman for a second.

"Ok I knew it was going to be cute, but I didn't think it'd be that cute."
