[Request] Silence Isn't Always Golden

[Maleficent]

(ikr, who's Simba? lol)

"The most pathetic king?" Zira spat. "I hope you are talking about Mufasa. And where is the proof that I abuse my child? Is there a scratch or bruise on him anywhere?"

[Misiziri]

(KingKovu, I believe.)

"Mufasa was pathetic, alright, after seeing how beautiful the lands were in his care. And Scar was great, yeah, the lands all dry, all the animals either dead or gone, forcing us to hunt for him... some king." She glanced at Nuka. It was clear Zira didn't care he was heavily infested with fleas. She noticed a few scabs, and his rib cage showed slightly, "Yeah, you're a real great mother... but, alas, arguing with a stubborn bore like you won't take us to Simba now will it?" She continued to guide her to see Simba.

"Here's an outlander, Simba, she wanted to speak to you in person. I'm sure Sarabi has informed you of the situation."

[KingKovu44]

Simba turned. "What do you want to speak to me about?" he asked.

[Maleficent]

Zira narrowed her eyes at Simba and held her tongue despite the fact that she had some choice words to say to him. Instead, she said simply, "I wish to have my son back, that is all."

[KingKovu44]

Simba frowned. "Why should I do it? You were Scar's ally," he said.

[Maleficent]

"More than an ally," Zira mumbled before saying in a louder voice, "How would you like it if I took your cub away from you?"

[Misiziri]

Sarafina replied, "Puh. We did that cub a favor. Lighty and the others are in great paws."

[Maleficent]

"He is MY son," Zira hissed. " As Scar's only heir, he belongs to me."

[KingKovu44]

Simba looked at her. "You aren't a good mother. That much is obvious," he said.

[Misiziri]

Sarafina nodded in agreement. "He and Lighty, and Siri, too, will get along well, King Simba."
