[Closed] OOTPL 2: Zira's Return

[thechiefyness]

A frown crept upon Kas'ims brow. Here he was, trying to get out of being eaten, and here came Penda to save him in front of his would be killer. "I'm playing with my friends, Penda." He lied. By now from Kopa's expression he could tell that he was in no danger of being a meal. Realizing this, Kas'im felt much more inclined to be kinder to this young lion, anything to get away from his surrogate family for a while.

Penda narrowed her eyes. "What you were doing didn't look like playing. Now come on. The rest of the pack is waiting for you," she said sternly. She hoped that Kas'im would obey her. If not, she would have to think of another way, such as telling the king what had happened.

Sheba couldn't get Nala's attention, so she just went back to search for Kopa again. As she went back to the grass patch, she heard voices and followed them to the log. She saw an adult wild dog and a young jackal with Kopa. She walked up to them and introduced herself. She said "Hi, my name is Sheba, are you friends of Kopa's?"

[KingKovu44]

Penda turned to the white lion. "Hello, young one. No, we do not know Kopa. I am Penda, and the jackal is Kas'im. I am part of Kas'im's surrogate family. I came to find him and found him in confrontation with Kopa," the Wild dog replied.

[Rosewarrior]

"Oh....." Sheba replied, she felt foolish. Sheba, sensing hostility tried to get to know the strangers'. She asked where they were from, and tried to make small talk with the canines, because she didn't know what else to do.

OOC: I'm doing this so I can get to the talk between Simba and Kopa, as well as Zira and Kali's meeting.

"Well, our pack lives and hunts around here. I take it that you've come from Pride Rock?" Penda replied in response to Sheba's question. Penda had also noticed that the cubs didn't have any adults with them. "It's been a bit stressful. Why don't you two go home? I'm sure your elders are wondering where you two are," she continued.

[Rosewarrior]

"Yeah, I guess your right" said Sheba, "well maybe we'll bump into each other again sometime". After she said that, she left and headed towards Pride rock where her parents were waiting for her.

Nyundo greeted his daughter. "So, princess, did you enjoy playing with Kopa?" he asked. In his mind, he was wondering if the prince had been as rude to her as he had been earlier. He hoped not. Nyundo did not want to leave and attempt to find yet another place to live.

[Rosewarrior]

"Yep, Kopa sure knows all the best hiding spots on the savanna." Sheba said. She didn't want to tell him about the wild dog and the jackal. So she layed next to her mother and dosed off for a bit.

[KingKovu44]

After Sheba had laid down, Simba was overjoyed to see Kopa come back. He greeted his son and then went to rest. The rest of the day passed. In the evening, the lionesses brought back a wildebeest. After dinner, Simba decided that it was time to have his talk with Kopa. "Kopa, can you come with me into the den? I need to talk to you," he said.
