Tough Love [Private]

Re: Tough Love [Private]

Postby KiarasMate » December 5th, 2009, 9:38 am

A bit taken aback by this golden furred lioness’ generous hospitality, yet never being the type to turn down such a kind invitation, Zina quickly adopted a more suitable facade as she performed a respectful bow before Kiara, replying in a polite voice as she did so.

”that’s awfully kind of you Princess Kiara. My name is Zina. I’m a Traveling Shaman and I’d love to take you up on that offer. I hope my presence isn’t a burden however. Please, lead the way. I’ll follow.”

Still baffled by the fortunate turn of events, Zina almost completely forgot about the entire incident with Kondo as she waited for Kiara to lead the way back to this supposed land of luxury that she had spoke of. Although feeling a bit out of place, which was often the case whenever she arrived at any new local, Zina smelled opportunity for not only her own selfish wants and needs, but perhaps a bit of fun as well. If this friendly princess’ pride members were just as easy to gain favor with as this push over of a lioness was, things could get very interesting and fast. Continuing to build up her fake demeanor, Zina spoke to Kiara in a flattering fashion as the two walked along.

”Your lands are very breath taking Princess Kiara. This looks like a very nice place to live.”

==========

Unable to see any sign of his mate at the moment, although Kovu had been looking in the wrong direction the entire time, the newly crowned prince of The pride lands decided to take a walk, mostly in the hopes of meeting up with his missing mate, but also needing the exercise himself as being bottled up in the main den always made him feel a bit restless at times. Taking one last glance over the horizon, Kovu bounded down the side of Pride Rock and started to make his way into the heart of The Grasslands. It didn’t take the young male long however, until his eyes fell upon a suspicious looking sight. Squinting his eyes to gain a better view of the situation before him, Kovu spotted a lone male, who seemed to be trying to conceal his rather large figure within the tall grass, much to his own efforts however, he wasn’t doing that great of a job at it from what Kovu could perceive. Being both curious and cautious at the same time, Kovu approached the strange male from behind as he addressed him in a gruff tone.

”Excuse me, but do you have some sort of business being here in The Pride Lands? I’ve never seen you around here, so either you’re new and lost, or you’re here to cause trouble. I hope for your sake that the ladder option isn’t the case, so if you’d be kind enough to introduce yourself, perhaps I could help you along your merry way.”

Looking over the foreign male in front of him, Kovu held his ground, not looking the least bit intimidated by the much larger and more muscular male’s physique. Maybe it was just his youthful nature or unsavory past, but whatever the case may have been, Kovu’s better judgment told him to keep a weary eye on the lion in front of him while he waited for a response, his own body clearly showing that he meant business and would prove this fact if need be.

==========

Purring softly from her mate’s affectionate nuzzle, Nala smiled warmly at her mate as she cooed quietly to him.

”Well, they’re young Honey. What do you expect. We can’t all lounge around all day like someone.”

Flashing Simba a cheeky smile, Nala rose to her paws as she moved in close, licking tenderly over her mate’s cheek before she moved in front of him as she made her way towards the entrance of the main den, her tail flagging casually behind her as if to signal for Simba to follow her. Making her way onto the promontory of Pride Rock, Nala took a seat where Kovu had been sitting not long before, waiting for her beloved king to join her before she spoke in a reflective voice, staring over the peaceful looking lands in front of her as she did so.

”You know Honey, we’ve been so lucky that things have been so calm here for some time now. I’m starting to feel like everything is returning to the way it used to be. We’ve been through so much and it’s nice to just be able to wake up and know that everything is just perfect in life.”

Looking over at her lover, Nala leaned in to rest her head against Simba’s broad shoulder as she continued to peer over the endless horizon before her.

Incapable of getting a good view of this newly appearing lioness, Kondo squinted his eyes to the best of their ability and wondered why on earth Zina was acting so polite in front of her. Even though he shouldn't be spying on these two lionesses, the Nalrisu King maintained an inanimate position as his eyes widen in amazement. Right before his royal eyes, Kondo witnessed a bow coming from Zina, indicating that this other lioness was indeed a monarchical importance to these lands. Comprehending on what he just witnessed, the spiteful male inched a little closer to try and get a better look of this golden lioness, making sure not to maneuver too close so that both lionesses couldn't catch wind of his presence. Unfavorable circumstances came into play as both lionesses were beginning to depart from their physical location, most likely heading off towards the eccentric rock formation.

Before Kondo could even make a move, a soft, gruff like voice startled him from behind. Impressed by whoever it was that snuck up on him, the malevolent king ascended up on fours cautiously, not wanting to cause any sort of commotion as he cocked his furry head to endeavor this lion's configuration. Fully adjusting his tangerine eyes on the unconventional lion before him, Kondo stood more regally and admired this deplorable lion's bravery and determination to stand up against him as he paid close attention to what was being inquired. In spite of the foreboding threat, Kondo chuckled softly in response and replied in a calm, confident voice.

"Hmph... Are you trying to start trouble with me, cub? You clearly have no idea what you're up against so I advise that you don't do anything foolish. In regards to who I am, you don't have to worry about it now. What YOU should be more concerned about is this white lioness who apparently took off with... I don't know, one of your pride members? Her contour is more golden, but she is creamy looking. Quite attractive too I must say, ring any bells, cub?"

Kondo acquired another step towards the more smaller lion, showing no signs of intimidation. What he was really after was Zina, her aberrant frame wasn't going to get away too far and apparently this new furry face before him was the only chance he had of regaining what's rightfully his. Keeping those tangerine eyes anchored on the other lion's aquamarine eyes, the confident male spoke up once again, this time, in a more persuasive voice to try and brainwash this confused lion.

"You know... I have a hunch that this white lioness your fellow pride member encountered may start trouble. You see, I was actually watching them from this very spot before you showed up. They were heading off towards that weird rock formation. How about I tag along with you, it appears you may need help. Besides, that white sha... I mean, lioness appears to be looking for trouble anyways from what I can gather. With my help, we can stop this future predicament. How about it? We don't have a lot of time you know."




Astonished by this incomparable lioness' warmhearted exterior, Kiara couldn't help but giggle from her courteous bow. Although she had no knowledge of this lioness' personal agenda, Kiara knew that she was making a good choice of allowing the white furred lioness to tag along with her back to Pride Rock. Unknowingly to Kiara however, this specific choice is going to haunt her dearly for days to come. As they initiated their trek back to her royal home, the affectionate princess kept a full on smile as her golden, alluring hips swayed back and forth in a suggestive manner. Moving along at a moderate rate, Kiara's sensitive fuzzy ears perked up to hear Zina's flattering fashion voice. A innocent giggle escaped the golden furred lioness' muzzle as she replied in her own tender voice, yet having no knowledge of Zina's fake behavior.

"Why thank you, Zina. I'm really happy to know you like what you see around my home. My dad maintains control over the Pride Lands, he makes sure that nothing bad happens around here. Besides me though, Tell me more about you! Where are you from exactly? I would love to hear more about you Zina, I've never seen such a pretty lioness like yourself!"

Luckily for Zina and Kiara, they were getting much closer to Pride Rock as the monumental rock formation began to come into view. It's going to take them another five or ten minutes to reach their destination, depending on their rate of motion.




Purring passionately from his mate's warm body snuggling up close, Simba paid close attention to what she was saying before speaking in a loving tone.

"Yeah, you're right love. I still worry about their safety though, I'm not sure if they will run into any trouble someday since they're young and all."

Observing his mate's sudden shift in movement, Simba closed both of his eyes to feel her raspy, pink, feline tongue coursing along his furry cheeks. This sent a small shiver down the sensitive king's spine as he noticed her gesturing tail. Without a seconds waste, the orange lion rose up on all fours and quickly made his way over to where Nala established herself outside of Pride Rock, taking a seat right beside her closely to lean his powerful regal body against the only lioness he adored so much in life. Simba snuggled up close against Nala, making sure that his bulky size will keep her toasty warm while he intently listened to what she was saying how everything was turning back to customary means.

"I completely agree with you love. If it weren't for you, I would've never be able to get rid of Scar and those filthy hyenas. You've done so much for me in life and I swore to protect you, no matter how many lions I have to claw away. Both you and Kiara mean so much to me and I will make sure to keep you two safe as long as I'm around."


An sensational purr escaped Simba's ebony muzzle lips as he closed both of his loving eyes, feeling his adoring mate's furry head resting down upon his broad shoulder. This brought a bigger smile to form around the king's inky muzzle as he affectionately nuzzled his one and only lioness, running his raspy feline tongue along her swivel ears.

In the meanwhile, Zina and Kiara's furry bodies were becoming visible as their light colored pelts glimmered from the hot scorching sun. Simba wasn't paying too much attention on the horizon where both of the lionesses were coming from, being too occupied with his mate's irresistible furry body as he brushed his silky crimson mane against her chest cavity to exhibit his undying love.

Kovu’s expression didn’t hinder the least bit as he took in the strange male’s arrogant reply, causing Kovu’s eyes to narrow in annoyance as he waited for the larger male to finish speaking. Wasting no time whatsoever, the undeterred prince of the lands responded in a stern voice.

”You’re threatening me when you’re the one trespassing here? Please tell me you’re joking. If that’s your way of gaining favor, I seriously advise you to change your tune, cause it’s not going to get you anywhere here. I don’t know where you came from and seeing as you don’t wish to reveal that information about you, how do you expect me to even trust what you’re saying?”

Unsheathing his claws now to show that he wasn’t afraid of the male in front of him despite the size difference, Kovu continued to observe the stranger as he heard him making mention about his mate, or so the description would have lead him to believe. Looking a bit more interested now, yet still nowhere near convinced to what this foreigner was saying, Kovu replied once more in a smug tone.

”Again, I don’t know who you are but if you expect me to believe that you just showed up here to warn me and my fellow pride members about this lioness, forgive me, but it’s just too much to swallow. I don’t believe that you’re just here to be a good Samaritan and from the way you acted here, I doubt that the king and queen of these lands would tolerate your presence for very long….however, seeing as it’s royal protocol to take all threats into consideration, the only choice I have is to bring you to the king and queen of these lands to state your case to them. For your sake however, I hope you’re telling the truth and will at least keep that attitude of yours in check when you speak with them. If it were up to me, you’d be flat out on your tail by now but I guess it’s your lucky day.”

Turning to head back towards pride Rock, Kovu motioned with a paw for the stranger to follow him as he called over his shoulder.

”Well, come on then if you’re word is sincere and my name is Kovu, so you can cut the Cub crap.”

Feeling quite exasperated by this male’s actions already, yet knowing that if in fact, his mate was in any sort of eminent danger, Kovu wouldn’t take any chances. Keeping a weary eye on the large male behind him, Kovu started to lead the way back towards the majestic structure that loomed off in the distance, staying quiet as the last thing he wanted to do was uphold another conversation with the likes of his current company.

==========

Smiling deviously to herself, Zina listened closely to everything that Kiara revealed to her, not letting a single detail slip by her notice as the two lionesses walked along. Hearing Kiara’s compliment, Zina quickly returned the kind words as she continued to butter up the golden furred lioness next to her, responding in a caring tone.

”Oh, you’re too kind Princess Kiara. I think you’re better looking than myself though. As for my past though, it’s a very long story and I wouldn’t want to bore you with the little details, so just to make a long story short, I’ve been on my own for quite a few seasons now and have learned to live on my own. That’s probably why your generosity is quite new to me but don’t get me wrong, I’m eternally grateful for your kindness and I can’t wait to meet your parents. If they are anything like you, I’m sure we’ll all get along just fine.” Just fine indeed… Zina thought to herself as she spotted the two distant figures that seemed to be sitting atop the huge rock formation.

Looking over at Kiara as the two reached the base of Pride Rock, Zina stayed where she was as she waited for Kiara to instruct her on what exactly was expected of her from this point on. Figuring that she’d have to suck up to the royal couple, much like she had clearly done with this soft hearted princess, Zina mentally prepared herself to turn on the charm once the time would come.

==========

Noticing that Kiara was returning and spotting a new face who accompanied her, Nala turned to her mate and spoke softly to him as she rose to her paws.

”Looks like we have a visitor Honey. Come on, let’s go greet them.”

Making her way down the slope leading into The Grasslands, the cream colored queen approached her daughter, giving her a friendly nuzzle as she addressed her in a cheery manner.

”Good morning Kiara Honey. Care to introduce us to your friend here?”

Kondo maintained eye contact with the young lion and listened closely to what he was saying about threatening him. The immoral king can sense that the other lion's exasperation levels were rising, which caused a quiet chuckle to slip out of Kondo's muzzle as he replied in a implacable voice.

"You will soon trust me young one. Even though I don't appreciate your attitude, I'm not going to cause any physical harm seeing how you're essential to these lands."

Catching a small glimpse of those unsheathed claws, Kondo's courageous exterior didn't budge a inch as he remained inanimate to allow this unfamiliar furry face to persist on talking. Although the other lion's voice sounded more pleased in regards to the lioness he mentioned earlier, the shameless lion knew that his scheme was working. It became more apparent that the other lioness he spotted not too long ago had some sort of relationship with this lion due to how concerned the other male's face was presented.

After his foreigner's voice came to a crude finish, Kondo flashed a devious smirk and replied in a distasteful tone, admiring the bravery coming from his adversary's choice of words.

"My lucky day, huh? I think the queen and king should keep your attitude in check, it isn't polite for a juvenile sized lion such as yourself to sneak up on older lions and threatening them without proper knowledge on what business they were attending. Also, if you think you can honestly knock me flat on my tail, I have terrible news for you cub. Before I get even more angrier, let's just get to your pushover king and queen so I can state my decorum and maybe have a life to look forward to."

Glancing over to where the newcomer was padding, Kondo's tangerine eyes caught Kovu's signaling paw and listened attentively to his introduction. Perplexed by this lion's name, Kondo tilted his head a little and began to leisurely follow close behind of Kovu, making sure not to do anything irresponsible to further upset him. As they were making their way over to Pride Rock, Kondo took another glimpse at Kovu and spoke in a more calmer voice.

"Kovu? Your name is Kovu? The one from the Outlands a few seasons back? If so, I believe I've spotted you a very long time ago when I was a cub. You see, where I come from, my lands are fairly close to the Outlands but I never got a chance to do anything in my cubhood. Furthermore, I think you were with a young lioness cub one day, its no wonder she looked awfully familiar. I take it you're her mate now?"


Kondo inquired, falling silent when his voice came to a courteous end to conceal his true demeanor. If he wanted to achieve anything around here, he'll have to put up a false influence on everyone and maybe, just maybe he will meet up with Zina when all of his efforts succeed.




Listening fixedly in curiosity to know every small detail about Zina, Kiara's attractive eyes fixated themselves on the extraordinary lioness' white furry face as she spoke, unaware that they were getting so close to Pride Rock that her parents were now visible. After Zina's likable voice came to an end, Kiara was about to make a response regarding about her past until she perceived Pride Rock and her parents sitting atop of it. Reaching the base of Pride Rock now, Kiara turned her attention back on Zina and spoke in a giggly tone.

"Thank you so much for telling me about yourself Zina! You really do sound like a fun lioness to be around with and I can't wait to know you further! I had so much fun talking with you that I didn't realize we made it back to Pride Rock! Now that we're here, I'm going to have a small chat with my parents and see if they can take care of your problems. You just wait down here, okay sweetie?"

Kiara giggled happily and anchored her lovable eyes back on Pride Rock, spotting her mother making her way down the slope and into the lavish grasslands. With excitement building up inside of the growing princess, she hurriedly rushed over to her loving mother and was greeted with an affectionate nuzzle in addition to a question in regards to Zina. Smiling even bigger, Kiara returned her own warmhearted nuzzle to her mother before replying in a exciting voice.

"Mom! I would like you to meet my new friend, Zina! She's a lone traveler and we met near our drinking quarters. She was a bit shaken up due to a rogue problem that happened not too long ago. If you want, Zina can tell you and daddy all about it. I only brought her here because she really needs help and I really do like her. Could you and dad help her? I'm sure Zina will be so happy if you two can do something about it."

The young princess altered her attention back on the white furred lioness, giving a small nod in her direction to signify that she can articulate her problems.




Coming from top of Pride Rock, King Simba descended off of his kingdom and made his way over to where his daughter and her companion were stationed. Stopping right beside of his lovely queen, Simba presented an appealing smile across his inky muzzle lips, fixating his royal eyes on the anomalous looking white lioness. Weird vibes were stirring up in the king's mind as he had a bad feeling about this older looking lioness but despite how he felt, he knew upsetting his daughter is the last thing he wanted to do. Giving this elegant lioness a chance, Simba cleared his throat and spoke in a majestic voice as he stood more regally.

"I see you've met my daughter miss. I'm Simba, King of The Pride Lands and right beside me is my Queen, Nala. I overheard my daughter mention you were in some quarrel with a rogue lion. If this is true, can you please provide me specific details on how he looks? I would be happy to insist you and make sure this sort of problem won't happen again, but if there's any lie to this, I won't take this lightly you know. This may seem ungenerous of me, but I cannot waste a lot of my already busy schedule on fake encounters. So please, state your purpose."

Feigning an interested disposition, Kovu listened to what Kondo was saying, evoking a slight scowl to escape his muzzle as he waited for the larger male to finish speaking before chiming in, a hint of malice noticeable within his voice.

”Humph, figures you’d have ties with The Outlanders. That would explain your attitude but if this is your lame attempt at making small talk, I’m really not up for it.”

Continuing along the path that would eventually lead to Pride Rock, Kovu still kept a close eye on Kondo as he addressed the comment the trailing male had stated previously, trying his best to abstain from losing his temper.

”Just to clarify, I wasn’t sneaking up on you back there. I had a logical reason on why I confronted you and I believe that my suspicions are true, just from the way you act alone but I have no intentions on attacking you. Not that I’d say I’d lose in a fight with the likes of yourself but brawling with random strangers isn’t the highest priority on my to do list.”

Shaking his head in frustration from just how pushy this new lion seemed to be, Kovu held it together as the two resumed their travels towards the distant figure of Pride Rock.

==========

Watching as the two approaching felines drew near and happily obliging to obey Kiara’s request, Zina waited until the male before her, addressed her in a regal tone. Secretly mocking his over zealous demeanor, Zina listened to what he was saying, waiting for him to finish speaking before she performed a quaint bow to both the royal pair and responded in a respectful tone.

”The pleasure is all mine King Simba and Queen Nala. Yes, your daughter was kind enough to offer her services to me in my time of need. I come before you now, not asking for your pity or charity, nor am I asking for a permanent place to call home, but what I do request is a place to rest for a short while if you don’t mind. Like Princess Kiara stated, I had a rather unpleasant run in with a rather unsavory rogue. As for a description of him, well, if you’ve seen one rogue, you’ve seen them all I guess.”

A bit uncertain herself on why she didn’t just give Kondo’s exact appearance to Simba, Zina kept her story as vague as possible, just in case she would need to refer to it at a later time. Hoping that this king of theirs, wouldn’t delve deeper into her problems, Zina quickly continued her story as she once more, bowed her head in respect towards Simba.

”I know it must be a hard decision to make King Simba, what, with letting some strange lioness into your lands who you hardly know anything about, but maybe this can be a mutual gain. You see, I’m no ordinary lioness, as my fur color probably would have already tipped you off to this little fact, but if you’d be kind enough to provide me with a place to stay, if only temporary, I could return the favor by sharing some of my vast knowledge with being a Traveling Shaman, to your pride members who may be in need of treatment if such a situation were to occur. I assure you that having a Shaman in your presence can prove to be quite useful and I’m at your disposal King Simba, if you fulfill your end of the deal that is.”

Listening to what Zina was saying, Nala’s focus shifted from the white furred lioness once she was done speaking, onto her mate to gauge his reaction before she returned her stare back to the Shaman and spoke in a kind voice.

”It’s Nice to meet you as well Zina. I’m sure any friend of my daughter’s will be most welcomed in our lands but the final decision lies in my mate’s paws.”

Turning to face her mate once more, both Zina’s and Nala’s eyes rested solely upon Simba as both felines waited for the king’s verdict.

In contempt of Kovu's bitter attitude, Kondo persevered an hospitable exterior to maintain a delusive impression as he waited patiently for the incensed lion to finish speaking before reciprocating his thoughts in a neutral voice.

"Ties with the Outlanders? You have no idea of my past Kovu, even if you did, I had no contact whatsoever with any Outlander. I've only visited the place once in my life before something terrible happened to me. Something you will NEVER experience in your life, I'm sure. So why don't you cut your mean attitude and show some respect for your elders, hmm?"

Kondo averted his attention away from Kovu, observing the majestic rock formation in the distance to try and ignore his foreign companion until they reached their destination. Keeping his tangerine eyes centered on the pointy rock, Kondo's fuzzy ears perked up once more to hear Kovu's imperturbable voice. Giving a brief look over towards the leading male, Kondo gave a gratifying smirk as he couldn't help but feel this was some sort of explanation to cover up this lion's frighten interior. Nevertheless, the immoral king kept to himself and prolonged his fictitious generous side as both lions were getting closer towards Pride Rock. Now that they were nearby, Kondo was able to pin point four lions talking amongst themselves and one of those lions happened to be Zina, the lioness he had been searching for all this time. What was more perplexing to him is that she kept bowing to this vigorous lion, illustrating that this has got to be their imperial king, there was no doubt about it.

After they reached Pride Rock, both Kovu and Kondo came to a slow stop near the others. Falling complete motionless now, Kondo's tangerine eyes anchored on the other aggressive appearing king as his severe dislike of other monarchs initiated inside of him. What he couldn't stand the most was another crowned ruler maintaining control over excessive lands.

Despite how he felt, Kondo averted his attention over to Zina and wondered why she was lingering around here in the first place. One of the first thoughts that popped into Kondo's mind was their past encounter. He had no comprehension if she told them or not and this thought alone discouraged him.

In any case, the brown furred male knew if he blew his fake behavior now, it'll be the end of his impending plans.




Maintaining a fasten eye on the abnormal lioness, King Simba lowered his orangery haunches to the ground and concentrated on what she saying in regards to her ability in shamanism. An noticeable smile crept across the regal king's ebony muzzle lips as he waited patiently for Zina's story to conclude, knowing to well that the Pride Lands could benefit a good shaman around here. Concurrently with her story, Simba's facial expression changed almost instantly as the white furred lioness gave no vital evidence to the rogue lion she was experiencing. Although this baffled him to some degree, Simba recollected his thoughts and replied in a benevolent tone.

"Appearances don't mean anything around here in the Pride Lands, Zina. You're very welcome here and what I can tell, we can really use the help of a experienced shaman such as yourself. There hasn't been any 'real' problems here as of late but if future problems transpire, we would most definitely appreciate your help seeing how none of us present don't know a thing about shamanism. As for the rogue problem, I'm guessing you forgot how he looked? No matter, any foreign lion that trespasses around here will be questioned. As for you staying here..."

Simba's voice trailed off suddenly as he thoroughly thought about the potentiality of Pride Rock. With all eager eyes fixated on his physique, the king of the Pride Lands took a deep breath and resumed his final verdict all the while maintaining eye contact with Zina.

"My final judgment... I'm going to allow you to stay here for a short while Zina. I know you aren't asking much, but if there's one point where you want to join our pride, you're going have to earn it. I'm still skeptical so we'll see how well you benefit our pride. Kiara will show you around in Pride Rock, I still have business to attend. We have more guests."

Simba's puzzling eyes anchored on a mysterious looking lion who appeared to be disturbed, wondering why he was brought here on a short notice. With Kovu approaching nearer, the curious king took a step forward and spoke in a uneasy tone.

"Kovu, who is our guest? He doesn't seem so friendly, any reason for bringing him here?"

Simba glanced over to his mate and motioned a paw in her direction to signify that he may need help to discuss with this new furry face.

Kiara on the other paw giggled quietly to herself and gently nudged her cold, wet, pink feline nose against Zina's furry side, speaking in a excited voice.

"I knew my dad was going to say yes! Now that you're going to stay for awhile, would you like to see inside of Pride Rock or... Do you want to take another walk?"


The young princess glanced over and spotted her loving mate. As much as she wanted to go over and pounce him to the ground to showcase her love, Kiara knew that he had important matters to discuss.

A broad smile worked its way over Zina’s muzzle as King Simba’s verdict was revealed to her. She had no plans on joining this pride on a permanent basis so the prospects of having a temporary place to stay with no apparent repercussions was more than welcome. Performing one more respectful bow towards Simba, the white furred Shaman thanked him for his hospitality in a gracious voice.

”I sincerely thank you King Simba, for opening both your heart and your lands to me. I assure, you won’t regret it.:

During this whole ordeal, Zina had been too consumed in her own fake facade, that she had failed to notice the presence of Kondo and another male. It wasn’t until the clueless lioness followed Simba’s stare, did her yellow eyes finally fall upon the unmistakable figure of her former adversary. Feeling overwhelmingly nervous, Zina might have done something irrational however, feeling Kiara’s gentle nudge and hearing her invitation, Zina was brought back to her senses as she quickly responded.

]”Uh, yeah, why don’t you show me around the lands Princess Kiara.”

Barely even waiting for the golden furred lioness to take lead as she was in quite the hurry to leave the sight of Kondo behind, zina flashed the large male a cold gaze before she departed the scene, following the princess as her mind raced to figure out what business Kondo had with this pride as well. Many different scenarios swirled about within zina’s mind but doing her best to suppress her own thoughts, the white furred Shaman returned to her false demeanor as she addressed Kiara in a kind tone.

”So, your father, he seems like a nice enough leader and your mother appears to be equally as kind hearted as you yourself are Princess Kiara. They really do look happy together. Do you have a mate?”

==========

Watching both Zina and her daughter taking their leave, Nala’s focus shifted to the new pair of lions that had arrived. Acknowledging her mate’s concerned look, the cream colored queen stood by Simba’s side as she secretly observed the unfamiliar male’s appearance.

Seeing that both Simba and Nala’s attention were centered upon him now, Kovu spoke up in a civil voice as he introduced Kondo to both felines and revealed his reasoning for bringing this stranger to meet with them.

”Simba, Nala, this is Kondo. I found him roaming our lands and potentially stalking some of our members. I confronted him about this matter, yet he has declined to tell me just exactly why or what he was doing in our lands. He also made mention about a certain lioness to be on the look out for, although if you ask me, I think his story is flawed but I’ll let him do the talking now. Be warned though, his attitude lacks a lot to be desired.”

Glaring over at Kondo with an indignant expression, Kovu took a step back to indicate that Kondo was free to state his business now.

Maintaining visual contact with Kovu's eyes, Simba paid close attention on what was being said about their new company. Things weren't looking too favorable for Kondo as the Pride Land's king shifted his gaze over to their guest. A great deal of concern was pasted on Simba's furry face as he moderately padded over to where Kondo was stationed, stopping just a few inches away before lowering his orange haunches to the ground. Feeling that their lands were in great jeopardy, Simba puffed out his powerfully built furry chest and spoke in a neutral tone.

"From what I gathered from my heir, you were trespassing on my lands. Fortunately for you, I'm not going to cause any strict punishment since I have a feeling you didn't know about these lands. Furthermore, you stated to Kovu that you've warned him about a lioness, right? Does this lioness happen to have a white hue pelt? If so, you're going to tell me everything that you know about her. If by any means you aren't going to follow my mandate, I won't have any other choice but to ask you to leave. Understand?"

Once Simba concluded his speech, he carefully nodded his furry orange head to allow Kondo state his personal concern as he acknowledged that Zina and Kiara were departing from their situation promptly, which made the concerned king ponder.




Thoroughly scanning his new environment, Kondo wasn't paying too much attention on what Kovu and Simba were verbally talking about, having a hint that it was directed towards him as he firmly watched on from the sidelines as his tangerine eyes caught Zina and that enthralling, golden furred lioness abandon their spots. Feeling puzzled on where they were going, the immoral lion composed himself, altering his attention back on their king who was directly approaching him instantaneously. Kondo swallowed hard and seated up more appropriately as the king's penetrable voice pierced into his ears as if to threaten him about trespassing here. Observing their sovereign's body language, Kondo's eyes narrowed unmistakeably. The deep hatred he was feeling earlier was initiating once more as his obscene muzzle spilled a few offensive words that went unnoticed.

After Simba's voice trailed off noticeably, Kondo let out a soft sigh and tried his best to conserve his artificial demeanor as he replied in a merciful voice with a small hint of irritation.

"Ah, so you must be their king, huh? You really do have the values of a king, I'll give you that. As for me, the only reason I stumbled upon these lands is because I'm after my lioness friend you came in contact with not too long ago. She's the one in white, a rare lioness I must say. Anyway, when I was minding my own business, this miserly lion over there startled me. Even though I tried acting polite in front of him, he put on a tough lion act. I don't know if it's his youthful side or what, but it's rather annoying. You see, I didn't know these lands belonged to anyone until I came into contact with Kovu. I wasn't trying to do anything irresponsible, I just wanted to talk with Zina to see what business she was attending. I don't know her personally, but she may be up to something no good. That's all. I mean no harm, believe me."

Directly after his speech came to an end, Kondo averted his eyes to the ground and demonstrated a sad facial expression to assist his deceitful behavior, hoping that one of them will fall victim to his atrocious plan.

King Simba remained skeptical to the whole story and turned his attention on his loving mate who shared a similar impression. Not really sure on how to handle this solely, the noble king leaned closely to his mate and whispered into her sensitive ear.

"I'm not too sure about his story love, what do you think of it? It does sound a little convincing, but I don't think that white lioness is going to cause any trouble. Do you think we should allow Kondo to stay around awhile? He does appear exhausted and I don't think he's going to do anything foolish around here. His mood isn't the best, but not the worse. He must be experiencing a bad day or something. What are your thoughts love?"




Kiara blinked numerous of times from Zina's interest of leaving so soon as the white shaman hurriedly moved in front of her, showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Not wanting to be left behind, the attractive young princess briskly followed close behind of her new friend, wondering why she abruptly left like that.

After they were minutes away from Pride Rock, both lionesses began to move more casually along the immeasurable grasslands as Kiara's swivel ears perked up to hear Zina's generous voice. Concentrating on what she was inquiring, the young princess giggled quietly and replied in a sweet, affectionate voice when her friend's voice ceased.

"I actually do have a mate. He's the sweetest lion you will ever meet! His name is Kovu and I fell in love with him instantly when we first met. I can say many things about my sweet Kovu but I don't want to bore you with that Zina."

Kiara smiled brightly and turned her attention on her dismay looking friend before inquiring her own curious thoughts, speaking in a concerned tone.

"What was that back there, Zina? It seemed you wanted to leave so fast, as if there was someone trying to get you. What happened back there? I've never seen you take off so quick."

Moving forward and taking up a spot on the opposite side of Simba so that all three felines were now facing Kondo, Kovu stayed mute as he listened to his king and the larger male exchanging words, unable to help a look of both contempt and disbelief towards Kondo’s sudden reform in attitude. Keeping his opinions to himself however, as he had faith that his king and queen would make the right decision, Kovu merely looked on as the royal couple interacted with their most unwelcome guest.

Hanging on every word that was spoken, Nala stayed close to her mate’s side as she heard him whispering to her now. Melding over what all had been stated and trying her best to use her own unbiased opinions of the given situation and Kondo himself, the cream colored queen finally replied in a soft whisper to her mate as she leaned in closer so that only his ears would hear what she had to say.

”To be honest Honey, I don’t trust him but if what he’s telling us is true about Zina, then we can’t afford to just turn our backs upon him either. Maybe you can grant him a place to stay just for a short period of time, until we get this situation cleared and figure out just which of these two new faces hasn’t been honest with us. I’d suggest giving him one of the distant dens however. I don’t think I’ll feel comfortable with such a lion being in close quarters with you and I and everyone else in the pride. Even if Zina is a threat, this large male could just as easily be more so of one.”

==========

Hearing Kiara’s comment about her mate, trying not to gag from just how lovey-dovey the golden furred princess got from the mere mention of her significant other, Zina forced a smile as she thought for a second, before replying in a thoughtful voice.

”That male, the one who was standing next to the shady looking older one. Was that your mate? He just seems to fit the bill, as you two seem like you’re around the same age and such. Forgive me if I’m prying into your personal life though. Just guessing is all.”

A bit caught off guard by Kiara’s next inquiry however, Zina had a momentary laps of silence as she stumbled to find a reasonable explanation for her abrupt leave from the scene they had left behind. Finally finding the right words to say, the white furred Shaman adopted a more casual tone as she stated.

”Oh, I was just, really eager to get to know your lands is all Princess Kiara. You see, being a Shaman, we tend to have a profound interest in whatever lands we come across as the potential of finding new herbs and such is just something that always excites us, so you’ll have to look past my spontaneous actions back there. I hope I haven’t done anything wrong or to upset you though.”

Smiling innocently at the golden furred feline, Zina averted her stare for a brief moment, taking in the almost picturesque scenery around her as she hoped that Kiara would accept the excuse she had provided for her actions, not wanting to have to admit that it was Kondo’s presence that had spooked her so badly.

Inching in much closer towards his mate and paying close attention to what she was saying on her behalf, Simba gave a few small nods and realized that one of these two foreign lions weren't telling the truth. When his mate's voice came to a conclusion, the peerless king rose up on all fours and took a gander over to Kondo who appeared to be desolate. Regardless how their guest may feel, Simba leisurely made his way over to the exotic lion, retaining his regal eyes on him to determine nothing suspicious was about to dawn as he came to a sluggish stop. Slowly descending his cantaloupe colored haunches on the cool surface, Simba pasted a deliberate facial countenance and spoke in a ingenuous voice, having a small indication that he wasn't too delighted.

"Kondo. It has come to my attention that either you or Zina aren't telling the truth around here. One of you aren't being honest here and I will get to the bottom of this, whether it'll take a few suns. Both Nala and myself do not indulge in games here, if you're up to something that I'm not aware of, there will be disciplinary actions. On the contrary, Nala and I have decided that we're going to allow you to stay, only because you do not look too healthy and you certainly need a den to rest. I know my heir, Kovu isn't going to enjoy this news, but I cannot allow someone to suffer. I'm sure my father will do the same thing."


Coming to a soft pause, Simba glanced up to the morning skies and resumed his speech.

"Like my father, I'm giving everyone a chance. Since you're going to be staying here for a short period, I'm giving you special privileges. These eligible activities include, sharing food amongst our pride, drinking from our personal waterhole and sleeping within our den. There's one condition however, you will be sleeping in the furthest den in Pride Rock, away from my pride due to your dubious attitude. If I hear any news that your attitude worsens, I will have no choice but to force you to sleep outside of Pride Rock. I hope you will take this speech into consideration, I'm done here."


Sequentially after Simba's formal speech, his enduring eyes attached themselves on one of the puffy clouds as remembrance of his father precipitated through his mind, replaying back to the days where he was taught about the great kings of the past.

After having a brief moment to himself, the noble king closed his eyes and turned around to quietly pad over to Kovu who appeared astound. Coming to a slow stop, Simba reopened his illustrious eyes and spoke in a insecure whisper.

"Kovu, I know you're not thrilled about this news, but I need to do the right thing. This Kondo here is questionable and I have a small task for you. I'd like for you to keep dabs on him and that white lioness, Zina. If any of them act out of character, please report to me. Okay? In the long run, I will grant you anything you'd like in my kingdom."

Showcasing a friendly smile, the king of the Pride Lands converted his attention back on his lovely mate and spoke in a tender tone.

"We're done here love, let's go on with our personal affairs. How about we take a stroll near our drinking quarters? How does that sound?"




Listening intently to what Simba was saying about his special privileges, Kondo narrowed his sandy colored eyes. He wasn't too happy about sleeping considerably far from everyone else and one of his preeminent plans were now futile due to this. Trying his best efforts to conceive another devious plan, the licentious lion maintained his fraudulent behavior as Simba's voice slowly diminished, indicating everything was now adjudicate.

With Simba departing and out of his fur, Kondo's tangerine eyes centered on Kovu, the lion he previously encountered not too long ago. Despite their differences, the disrespectful male knew if he wanted to achieve these lands, he'll have to brainwash this lion somehow and turn him against their current king. if everything goes according to plan, he should be able to accomplish his greedy deeds in a matter of days.

What was more afflicting to Kondo was Kovu. He had no idea how he was going to gain his confidence but it shouldn't be impervious, due to his tender age.

Desperately wanting to put his disastrous plan in motion, Kondo presented a warmhearted smile to conceal his true intentions as he ascended up on all fours and padded along in the vicinity where Kovu was presented. Coming to a sluggish stop, Kondo maintained his fraudulent character by speaking in a perky voice.

"Hey Kovu, I know you and I uh... started off quite rudely. I wanted to come by and apologize for my behavior, I know it was wrong of me to disrespect you. I didn't realize how much of an extraordinary lion you are and I was wondering if you wanted to show me around? How about it? I promise to be more respectful."




Kiara walked alongside Zina now as she listened attentively to what was being said. Although there was a long pause regarding her question, the young princess didn't thought about too much and dismissed this bizarre act.

After the white lioness' beneficent voice came to an end, Kiara giggled quietly to herself and replied in her own charming voice.

"The male you speak of, that is my mate. He's the one that is more slender looking and sporting a black mane. Even though we're distinctive, I can't help but love him so much. He's definitely my one and only mate in life and I'm looking forward of being his queen in the future. It's impossible to hate such a cute lion like him."

Kiara blushed openly as her golden colored cheeks flushed hotter than the scorching sun, not able to hold back her true feelings for the only prince she loved so much in her innocent life.

With her gleaming cheeks feeling much hotter and more perceptible, the young princess averted her furry face away from her companion and spoke in a embarrassed tone.

"I know this may sound silly to you Zina, but I was wondering... How do you know which herbs to collect? Aren't there poisonous ones out here? I would like to hear a more in depth about your profession if you don't mind."
