extracting data from seaborn kdeplot levels (2D) python

Question

Is it possible to get data from a kdeplot when its input is 2D? I have the following:

import numpy as np    
from seaborn import kdeplot

lA = np.randon.normal(1,0.2,1000)
ld = np.randon.normal(1,0.2,1000)
kde = kdeplot(x=lA,y=ld)

If this was just 1D, I could get the information with:

lA = np.randon.normal(1,0.2,1000)
kde = kdeplot(lA)
line = kde.lines[0]
x, y = line.get_data()

but as a the input is 2D (lA, ld) , it returns an <AxesSubplot:> object and I don't know how to unpack its information since kde.lines[0] then returns list index out of range.
I need to compute the maximum and minimum in each of the plotted contour's axis (separately) as my dispersion for each variable.

You can get the path drawn in the graph, in this case, from the LineCollection object.

import numpy as np    
from seaborn import kdeplot
import random
from matplotlib.collections import LineCollection

lA = np.random.normal(1,0.2,1000)
ld = np.random.normal(1,0.2,1000)
kde = kdeplot(x=lA,y=ld)

data = []
for i in kde.get_children():
    if i.__class__.__name__ == 'LineCollection':
        data.append(i.get_paths())

kde.get_children()
