The new danger in the land

[TheWhistlerify]

Marini rolled her eyes. "I'm moody because I'm in heat, alright?" she said defensively. "It happens."

[Adofo]

Tua: Oh.....uhh....wow.

[TheWhistlerify]

"Wow?" asked she sarcastically. "Females go through that. There's nothing to go all 'wow' about." At least he'd stopped questioning her...

[Adofo]

Tua: .....I'm sorry. And Marini.....if you want to leave...you can leave. I know you probably hate being around me since...that night.

[TheWhistlerify]

As Marini left without saying another word, Simba went ahead and lay down next to Tua. "Is it just me or..." he said, "...or does something feel a little... Not right?"

[Adofo]

Tua: Yeah......I know what you mean.

[TheWhistlerify]

"I mean..." said Simba. "This definitely isn't the first time she's gone into heat..."

[Adofo]

Tua: Oh....you knew? ......Do you think.......there's someone else?

[TheWhistlerify]

"Well we are males, we can smell it when a lioness is in heat..." said Simba, looking at Tua oddly. Has he really never noticed before? "Someone else?" He didn't know. "Who? It definitelt can't be Kovu. That's not his scent, and Maini is Kiara's best friend. She would never do that." But, aside from Kovu, there were no other lions in the pride besides them. "Maybe she's just reacting differently because of what went on between the two of you."

[Adofo]

Tua: You think...it's because of me?
