MP, Green vs red

LHO deals and opens 2H, a ‘´traditional’’ weak 2. You do not know their style but both opponents look sound for a vul opening.

Partner Xes, RHO passes and an uneasy decision awaits you at the corner:

ATx
Q6xxx (yes, pips were very low)
KTx
JT

You regret 2NT is not natural, but it is time to be bold, brave, cautious or coward.

What is you pick amongst all evils.

My hand rates to produce 2 1/2 tricks on defense. Partner at this vul and void could be pretty weakish, KJxx, void, Axxx, K10xxx. What will they lead against 2H doubled?
I think the wise move here is to bid 2S, and take your lumps rather than top/bottom it with pass.
