[Open] Enemy From Within

[Applejack]

She turned back to face Kovu and bowed her head in respect. "I want nothing more than to spend my life with Hakara," she said softly. "I'm hoping that, though his love, my tough exterior can finally be cracked. I want to be able to express my love and care."

Haij sighed softly. "A bright future is ahead of us," he announced. "Everything is in peace now, and we need to make sure we keep it that way." He closed his eyes, chuckling. "And I bet you guys already knew that in the first place. Let's say.. It's a reminder."

Kiara turned to go into the den "you coming hot shot" she said to Haij with a cheeky wink as she proceeded into the den.

Jasmine lay nuzzeling her newborn sons "someday you will make a great king Kopa" she said addressing her first born son

He looked back at Kiara, grinning. "Coming, Princess," he said and followed her. He looked back at the others. "We'll be.. right back," he called then follow Kiara into the den.

Vitani glanced up at Hakara from his mane. "Hakara," she said softly. "Can we go out into the grasslands? I want to lay out and enjoy the stars with you." She smiled softly, another purr slipping from her throat as she moved her head closer to his.

Hakara smiled broadly. "I'd love to, though your eyes are much more beautiful," he told her.

[Applejack]

She smiled softly and leaned forward, licking Hakara's muzzle softly and lovingly. "I know its only starting to turn to dusk, but on this paw, by the time we get there, it'll be the right perfect time to watch the stars." She lowered her eyes, then looked back, locking hers to his. "Your eyes, its as though I'm staring into the stars themselves already."

[KingKovu44]

Hakara nodded. "And in your eyes, I see paradise," he said as he began to head down the side of Pride Rock.

[Applejack]

Vitani smiled, another purr emitting from her throat as she leaned against Hakara for support, slowly limping her way off into the grasslands. "I would be happy growing up and dying old with you, Hakara," she said softly. "I'm not old yet, I'm still barely an adult. I'm glad that I have you to help me, and to love me." She sighed, looking over at him. "How far are you willing to go to break through my tough exterior and find my soft spot?"

[KingKovu44]

Hakara smiled as he gazed into her eyes. "I'm willing to do whatever I have to do," he stated.
