I wish... I know they're afraid for me. I know if I do anything it'll be when I'm older. Gotta be. I'm thirteen. That's - um, for humans that's just going from child to closer to being adult, I'm smarter now, but people think I'm still a child.
I don't want to run away. I want them to let me go. With their blessing, you know?
[He laughs] Thanks. I think? [That's teasing.] Um, I'm Luke Skywalker.
You're still a child. Let your family look after you until you're ready to begin your adult life. [He lays down and nods, smiling faintly.] You will feel much better if you have their blessing. They might surprise you.
[His eyes glow warmly.] His name is Simba. He's...adventurous to say the least. He has scared me more than once, but that comes with parenting. One day, he will be a strong, loving ruler.
Luke. [He inclines his head.] I am Mufasa. I am the King of the Pridelands.
C'mon, I know how to take care of myself. Predators come after me, I can fight 'em off. [He actually is good at defending himself. To a point. And because he has a gun. With the grace of the young he sort of drops into sitting cross-legged on the ground.] I've never panicked, I'm not afraid. They know that. People say it's weird.
Hi. ...Again. Haven't met a lot of kings before. So that makes Simba a prince?
There are things that should scare you. [His tone turns dark and he closes his eyes solemnly.] Being afraid can help you make the right decision. Even I feel fear from time to time. It helps me rule my kingdom better.
I just don't... I don't go looking for trouble, it just doesn't bother me. I don't really think it's a problem. My friend and I, we were in a canyon once and there was this krayt dragon, y'know, and my friend just... ran and hid and cried for his mom.
We could've got it to turn away. It would've worked. If you show you're too much trouble to eat, most animals will find other food.
