Vitani saw Kivuli leave with a certain satisfaction, pleased at how quickly he gave up his blatant disrespect in exchange for oily agreements and promises. She thought his ego was bigger than that, but was happy to sea this was not so.
At Simba's request Vitani left for the exit of the den, intending to catch up with Kivuli. As she reached the doorway however, she paused due to the rain that was now falling. As she stood there she saw that Mila had already taken an interest in Kivuli, and was striking up a conversation. From beyond came Nala who dashed up Pride Rock with a cry, passing Vitani. No sooner than she entered the den had she exited it, on her way back down Pride Rock with a sizable chunk of gazelle in her mouth. Vitani turned away from the exit seeing that Mela was taking care of the lion and Nala had no objections.
She walked back to where her kill had been lain and as she did so she spoke, explaining why she was coming back. "Mila's taken an interest in Kivuli and is escorting him herself." she said, then bent down to take a share of the kill she'd brought in. She didn't have too much though, not really having an appetite.

"It sounds like life in the pridelands must be a paradise in comparison. Isn't Simba a small price to pay for that? I mean, It's not like Simba's unreasonable right?"
Kovu sensed that a little upbeat energy might get Daxis back on track. At least he was moving well and seemed to have himself under control for the most part.
