In the Outlands a young cub (but not too young, she'd remind folks) wandered about, trying to find something among the termite infested land that was actually worth spending her time on.
The cub, Nyx sighed, why did things get boring everytime her Aunt Zira left? She spotted Nuka over by a termite pile and walked up.
"Hey, aren't you suppose to be watching Kovu and Vitani?" she asked.
Nuka seemed to not hear her and just kept scooting about on the desert floor.
Nyx couldn't help herself. "What are you doing...?" she questioned of her older cousin.
"Getting...rid of...termites!" the lion said, floppig on his back and rolling, "and what do I care if the Chosen Ones can't take care of themselves".
Nyx rolled her eyes as her cousin continued to lose the battle agasint tiny insects, "And you wonder why you're not your father's chosen heir".
Nuka was instantly sitting up to frown at her, "We can send you back to that hag of a grandmother of yours!" he threatened.
"She's your grandmother too, idiot!" Nyx was quick to point out, jabbing at Nuka's intelligence again.
"I know that...I'm just making a point" Nuka stated. Nyx doubted he did.
It was just then she noted Zira returning, and seeming in a foul mood. Nyx had enough sense to not say anything at the moment. Nuka...did not.
"Ooh! Mother, Hi!" he skipped over, "did you...".
Zira instantly turned on her son, "Why weren't you watching them?!" she snarled, "Do you realize you just cost us our future?!".
"W-What do you mean?" Nyx hazard to ask, walking up.
Zira didn't answer. "Where's your father?" she snapped again in question to Nuka. The lion shrugged helplessly. "I...uh, well...I was busy taking care of termites and..." he rambled on to say he didn't know where Scar was at the moment.
