[Closed] Trials in the Pridelands

[changa]

"Well, mom says that I can't set paw in the Pridelands until you get back and take me. She said that it was dangerous, but I'm not scared!" She pounced on his back, her one forepaw scrabbling to stay up. She flopped to her back.

"Well, maybe I can!" Kovu snarled, and leapt for his friend.

Kopa prepared himself for Kovu's strike. "I'll get you this time!" he said.

[changa]

Kovu, upon instinct, extended his claws, and they dug into Kopa's back, leaving him bleeding. "Kopa," he said, drawing back, "I'm... sorry..."

[KingKovu44]

Kopa staggered back a bit. "Are you sure that was an accident?" he asked sarcastically.

[changa]

"Kopa, I didn't mean it! Honestly!" he sighed. "Maybe the instincts and reflexes from before... came back. I'm sorry!"

[KingKovu44]

Kopa sighed. "Kovu, it's fine. It was an accident. Please relax," he said. He thought for a long moment. "Now I'm going to have to explain these wounds to my parents," he said.

[changa]

"It's my fault. I can tell them," Kovu said, a little relieved that he would not be accused.

[KingKovu44]

Kopa smiled. "You would do that, Kovu?" he asked.

[changa]

"Yeah. Gotta learn responsibility sometime. You go clean yourself up, and I'll tell them." Kovu walked into the den and found Simba. "Simba,"

[KingKovu44]

Simba turned to see Kovu. "What is it, Kovu?" he asked.
