[Open] When All Seems Lost....

[Nitro]

Kopa's whiskers twitched. He bent his head low to be eye-level with his niece. "Are you alright, little one?" he asked. His tail flicked behind him.

[Zoketi]

Kalifa started as Kopa asked her. "Uh...yes." She replied hurriedly. She stared anxiously up at Kopa, flattening her ears.

[TheLionQueen]

"She is just a little shy." Kiara said walking behind Kopa.

[Nitro]

Kopa shrugged, not really caring after his brief spout of humanity. Once they reached Pride Rock, he took a deep breath and smiled. "Just how I remembered it," he remarked casually.

[Zoketi]

Kalifa hurried to stay behind Kiara, her ears still back. She padded after the group, and to Pride Rock. She watched Kopa's smiling as he took in the whole place. Kalifa waited for her parents to climb Pride Rock.

Kiara started to walk up priderock. "Come on Kopa look around I bet nothing has changed." Kiara stated As she climbed up.

[Nitro]

Kopa nodded, quiet as he basked in the memories. He sighed, tears building up behind his eyes. "Mom...Dad..." he murmured, the full implications of their death settling in. No longer would Nala carefully lick his pelt clean nor Simba wrestle with him.

[TheLionQueen]

Kiara didn't know how to tell Kopa and whispered something in Kovu's ear. She knew Kovu had the guts to tell Kopa and he did, "Um.. Kopa, I'm sorry to say this but Simba and Nala passed months ago." Kovu said before patting Kopa on the back with one of his paws.

[Nitro]

Kopa nodded. "I know," he murmured. "I saw their stars in the sky. They were the ones to guide me here."

[TheLionQueen]

"Oh." Kovu said stepping backwards towards Kiara.
"So Kopa why don't you rest." Kiara said looking at her brother.
