on apps and the mun being a flake and a twerp

[gamey]

You wouldn't be having this problem of "idleness" if it you had finished what you started months ago.

It's been two, hasn't it? Dear me, I hadn't realize that yet.

...as for that one part, the writer behind Scar—of all the lions, him—told you you didn't have to fill out. You don't really know how anyone there would take your poking at me simply being "a very busy bird," be it in jest or no, so you ought to simply skip it. No need to show your tail feathers like that! First impressions are very important, so refrain.

Now, where was that app of yours, hmm?

[Scar invaded his personal space first, and he does realize he's (mostly) safe in this space, so hopefully Scar doesn't mind a flap in the air before he lands on his shoulder as he did so many times with his brother.]

I'll keep it between us, like everything else. Your generosity would be most appreciated, perhaps I could even help!

[i_killedmufasa]

Get. Off.

[gamey]

[Has anyone ever told Scar he has intimacy issues? Because he does.

Zazu will simply give him an upside look, hopping from shoulder to betwixt his ears and then at a most respectable distance away, falling gracefully with a silent landing and tucking his wings closely.]

Sire, we need to have a heart-to-heart [or lack thereof, BADUM TISH] talk about your issues with simple touch soon.

[i_killedmufasa]

I think that can wait.

[gamey]

Yes, yes, that is what you'll say today...tomorrow...ten years from now.

[Harsher in Hindsight, Zazu. That is so beneath you.]

[i_killedmufasa]

[growls]

If you're so certain I won't acquiesce then why did you even bring it up?

[gamey]

[There's a moment's pause where he approaches quietly, fiddling with those feather fingers as though he'd give him a pat if it meant anything.]

Can I tell you a secret, Sire?

[i_killedmufasa]

What.

[gamey]

[He's not trolling, honestly. As much as he dislikes Scar, seeing any of the royal family so...displeased...does pull at a heartstring or two.]

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, deedle-ee-dee~!

[i_killedmufasa]

[Scar sighs.] Would you stop that? I don't need cheering up.

[gamey]

[But ribcage bonding!

Still...that stink eye is not welcome ever. Ugh, how much he dislikes it cannot be expressed in words.

He fluffs himself up before pulling his neck in, looking grumpy beneath those bushy brows.]

Never have to deal with this from Mufasa indeed.

[i_killedmufasa]

[Scar's teeth are suddenly very close to Zazu's beak.] WHAT WAS THAT?!

[gamey]

[And that neck has suddenly popped up and leaned back. He knows those teeth. He dislikes those teeth, too. At least Mufasa never plucked him out of midair and put him in his mouth.]

From my understanding he's in the same place as you are, so why are you still so upset at his very name?

[i_killedmufasa]

He might be there, but I am still the KING!

[He snaps his jaws shut viciously.]

[gamey]

[Well, this is rather de ja vu, isn't it?]

Of course you're the king, Sire! [But, this time, there's no backing away, and not quite as much fear as there once was.] But that does not negate the fact of the matter that his name must still be said on a regular basis, does it?

[i_killedmufasa]

You managed it before!

[gamey]

[Those bushy eyebrows move, giving him a look that's far more thoughtful than when he's recalling some information that's a bit muddled or news to give.]

Around...you, perhaps, as was the case with many others. Your Majesty.

[i_killedmufasa]

And why should that be any different?

[A low growl rumbles under his words.]

[gamey]

[There's another moment where he appears thoughtful. Even with the rumbling growl and those devastating teeth being so close, there's a strange sense of calm about him.]

You don't know how much comfort can come from a single name, or word. It is not out of disrespect to you as a leader, to your rules, or any such thing that his name was still said. Your personality or outlook on the role of king aside, he was still a beloved and fondly remembered being, even if he had never been king.

[And then he fluffs his feathers up and does his best to appear twice his size. He's ready, go ahead and gnaw on him.]

[i_killedmufasa]

[Scar nearly slams forward, teeth gnashing so close to Zazu's beak they might even cut him.]

STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM!

[gamey]

[Do birds yelp? Probably not, but Zazu does the equivalent of one, scooting back the few inches he can and putting his wings up to his beak to cover it. He knows he's "earned" it, as Scar would believe, but he's not going to cower. At least, not here.

He doesn't say anything, though.]

[i_killedmufasa]

[Scar growls and turns away.]

[gamey]

[He'll just breathe a sigh of relief and rub that orange beak. He's not going to tell him off for turning his back on him, oh no.]

[i_killedmufasa]

No witty remark?

[gamey]

[A wing continues to rub his beak while another moves out in a sort of shrug. Not really, no, it seems to be.]
