Tanga smiled at Marini's response, feeling absolutely on top of the world right there and then. He give Marini a small, quick lick across the cheek, before settling beside her, letting her lean against him as they both purred in contentment.

Sarabi watched as the two young adolescents interacted, smiling as she saw Tanga lick Marini. She was certain that the two of them would make a wonderful couple when they were older. She gave them a few more moments before deciding to clue them in her favourite lookout spot. "You two comfy down there?" she called to get their attention.

Scar thought on Sarafina's offer. It would get the job done that much quicker, and guarantee his place as king of Pride Rock. More to the point, with Scar back a Pride Rock when Simba was disposed of, he could not be connected to Simba's death in any way, guaranteeing that the pride would never suspect his involvement in it.

He looked a Sarafina, a sly smile on his face. "How soon can it be done?"
