A Change of Plans [PRIVATE: AC & The Whistlerify]

[TheWhistlerify]

"I'm sure that's it." Simba said, remmbering how Marini always helped Tanga cheer up on situations like this. "I bet she's with him right now." he said, but continued the sentence in his mind; 'after the way you just acted...'

----

Uhuru was resting herself in the sun, lying down on a soft patch of grass and basically doing nothing. It was not like Uhuru to be so... 'quiet', but she found doing this very relaxing. It helped her focus as she tried put together everything that happend today. The young cub's mind was un-familliar with thoe kind of things, and the more she though about it, the more she understood nothing of what just happend back then when Simba and Tanga wrestled.

At some point, she decided to stop thinking about that, and to just enjoy the warm sun. She felt so peaceful that she didn't hear Nala approaching without noticing her, at least untill Nala was very close and nearly ran into her. Luckily, the adolescent noticed her and stopped a second before that happend. "Oh, hi Nala." she said, managing a smile at her despite the thoughtful expression the young lioness was carrying, "I was busy resting, and thinking..."

Sarabi simply nodded, before turning to Simba. "Well, it's been an eventful morning," she said, before leaving Simba's nook, heading towards her own. "I'll have everyone gather here this evening so we can talk out what happens with Scar and our training, okay, Simba?"

----------

Nala nodded. "I think this morning's left us all thinking a bit," she said, before smiling at the relaxing cub. "Do you mind if I lie here with you for a bit?"

[TheWhistlerify]

Once Sarabi was finished talking, Simba called after her, "Everyone?" he asked, shooting a look telling her to be careful with the words tat she's about to use

----

Uhuru opened her eyes again and smiled at Nala, "Of course not, go ahead." she said and lay her head back down. She didn't feel like talking about what happend with her in order to try and get a better understanding. Simba was her... 'boyfriend' afterall, and she probably wouldn't like to talk about how he broke his paw

[AustralianChaos]

Sarabi stopped briefly, looking back at Simba. She caught his look, but put it down to simple grumpiness thanks to his injury. "If you mean Tanga, then yes, since he's part of the training, he has to be part of the meeting. I'll keep an eye on him, though, and hopefully his parents will pull him in line after this morning."

----------

Nala sighed as she settled down near Uhuru, letting the sun relax her. She was a little surprised to note Uhuru was not her usual energetic self, but put it down to the rather eventful morning.

Thinking of this made her think of Simba, and through that, think of Tanga, and her attitude towards him. "Uhuru..." she began hesitantly, not quite sure what she wanted to say. "I...I'm a little confused right now, and, well...you're the only one of us younger ones who seems calm right now. I just...I feel so angry at Tanga right now, for hurting Simba so badly, but...Simba's already said he's forgiven him, and has asked me to do the same, but...I don't know...I saw Tanga just now, and he seemed to regret what he'd done, but all I can think about is what he did to Simba, and I...I feel like I want to claw him, get him back for what he did, but..."

Sighing again, she turned to Uhuru. "I just feel so confused right now, and I don't know what to do."

[TheWhistlerify]

Simba then lay back down as Sarabi left, hoping she wouldn't act like this again in the evening. But his mind again wandered about what were they to do with Scar and their training, and how were they going to deal with the situation today's accident created

-----------

Uhuru wasn't sure of what exactly to say to Nala. She did seem very thoughtful, but Uhuru was even more confused than she was, and had no idea of what to say. The part with the claws scared her a little, but Nala didn't seem like she wanted to do such a thing to Tanga, despite what he had done whether it was on purpose or whether it was by accident. "I don't think I'm the right one to talk to about this..." she began nervously, deciding it was time someone knew how confused she was about all of this.

[AustralianChaos]

Nala nodded slowly, before turning to the little cub. "Sorry, Uhuru...I'm just confused right now...but you're helping just by listening." She then turned to look back towards the ravine where the cave system was. "Look, I know you haven't known us for long, but Tanga's your brother...he's always been my friend, but...Simba means a lot to me, and I just...I don't know if my friendship with Tanga can survive this. What do you think about all this, though?" she finally asked, hoping Uhuru, despite her youth, would some words that would at least help sway her decision regarding Tanga one way or another.

[TheWhistlerify]

Uhuru was a little apprehensive at first, but decided that she would tell Nala exactly the way she saw everything. "Well... it seemed like an accident to me. I mean... I haven't known Tanga for very long, but he doesn't seem like someone who would delibratly hurt someone else."

[AustralianChaos]

Nala nodded. "Simba's saying exactly the same thing...and I know Tanga didn't mean it. But I'm still angry...and I don't know what to do...how do I stop the anger?"

[TheWhistlerify]

"I... don't know..." Uhuru began, thinking of a way Nala could ease her anger at Tanga, but she couldn't come up with anything

[AustralianChaos]

Nala eventually sighed. "Sorry, Uhuru...I know I shouldn't put all this on you. It's just...it's been a crazy day," she finally said.
