Tanga took the offered assistance, but once he was standing had to keep his injured leg off the ground to avoid hurting it any more than it already was. He wasn't quite sure what to think as Bardu labelled the fight a test of his strength and skills, and both him and Nala proceeded to lick him. "I...uhh..." he was at a complete loss for words. "Now what?" he finally managed to say, sitting down to give himself time to let everything sink in...and to let his adrenaline rush subside.

Simba was also at a complete loss for words. Everything he knew about Bardu seemed to change right before his eyes. He saw Nala's 'told you so' look, but did not respond to it. If Bardu's taunting and goading of Tanga was a test...then what was everything he had put simba through earlier?
