Simba is missing his daddy and assorted other castmates

[quitesolittleheir]

Even if it's snowy and cold, I really like where I am! I just wish my dad could be there...I've done some really cool things and learned a lot of songs, and new words!

I could teach him how to use the magic rock and how to talk to people with it and we could do the spider song, and my friends wouldn't have to hunt for me so much! I feel like a bother sometimes...but if he was there, he's supposed to take care of me! So it wouldn't be so bad!

[Though, Simba's not been as polite as he should be, pawing at the ground where he stands.] And I guess sometimes I need someone to tell me I'm not behaving.

It's hard to remember all your manners though!

[But it's not just his dad he's missing. He hasn't met many younger people around his age, and he can't exactly ignore the absence of his best friend and partner in crime either. Or his mother.]

I miss Nala too, mom and Scar!

Even Zazu! [And that is saying a lot.] You think they might come if I asked real nice? I've been working on my please! [See? His big smile just screams 'come play with me'.]

[Ok, she admits that having someone to hunt instead of her would be REALLY NICE but she's not going to up and say that haha...]

If you keep asking with that good a please, I'm sure they'll come eventually.

[quitesolittleheir]

You think so?

[He is positively beaming] I think so too!

[dammitmother]

Mhm. But you might have to be very patient. Sometimes us grown-ups take a little time to get where we're going.

[sonofman]

[Well, Tarzan is quite fascinated.

He drops without warning a little bit in front of Simba, just distant enough to avoid a clawing if one was to come his way. And, in broke Feline:]

Little cat can't hunt?

[quitesolittleheir]

[Most humans Simba has met wore strange furs and things, but this man was rather without. So that's what a human looked like underneath all those layers!

The sudden appearance surprises him though, gasping and scampering away to hide behind something for the moment, poking his head out when he's sure he isn't being chased.] I'm not big enough!

[He has claws and teeth sure, but not enough power to kill something and far too clumsy to try. Big paws and a little cat, a mighty hunter does not make.] How come you're so bare? I thought humans wore lots of furs!

[sonofman]

[He's hardly a typical physical specimen of course, but close enough. It's quite amusing to see the 'little cat' spooked by him though. It's usually the other way around. Once Simba is no longer hiding, Tarzan has an arm extended and gesturing towards himself a little, in a 'come on, I won't bite' manner.]

Different kind of man.

[That's his general answer to that sort of stuff.] Need to kill to get furs. I don't hunt either.

[myseveredsong]

[ it's simba. oh, this is too purrfect. zira pads closer and gives the small cub a nudge. ] ...out here all alone, little one? tsk, This won't do. It's dangerous out here, and you can never be too sure what's lurking. [ sits beside simba, curling her tail around him. ] ...well, not matter, at least we have each other. I didn't think I would come across another lion here.

[quitesolittleheir]

Well I'm not afraid of anything! I should be fine on my own. [Except really he won't be. He's got far too many friends around to take care of him. He just calls them his subjects so he doesn't feel too inadequate.

He gives the other lion a suspicious eyebrow raise though, not sure if he's ever seen her before and well...Lions from other prides aren't always the best to hang around with as a cub. Danger was omnipresent when outsider males came and you were a small cub, but a lioness can't be all that bad, right?]

Most things haven't ever seen talking lions before, so I guess I didn't expect you either! Maybe we should stick together...

[myseveredsong]

It's not that I don't believe you, little one, but you're just a cub. What if something bigger, meaner, and stronger comes along? [ tilts her head. it's alright, simba, zira will look after you or something. fufufufufu. ]

[ no reason to be alarmed. she's not going to hurt you, ...yet. she has got something else in store for you, and this plan, she believes, is far more devious than the last one she'd crafted. smiles, nodding at him. ] I know. I have met man, too... but I agree. Us lions should stick together. It seems our numbers pale in comparison to theirs, and this could be problematic...

[nicerack]

[Well. A magestic looking deer probably isn't quite what you were looking for, but-]

You must be strong. Your parents will not always be there for you, and you must learn to survive without them.

/choked on her soda because of that journal name

[quitesolittleheir]

I'm strong! I just miss them.

And my dad say's he'll always be there. Just like the kings of the past.

[So excuse you weird antelope...gazelle thing.]

I aim to please ;)

[nicerack]

There is no creature which can always be there to protect you. Everything has its season.

[Excuse you little yellow cat he has recent personal experience in all of this okay]

[notrequiredtomakesense]

I try to tell you to behave and you don't listen, Simba.

[Not too annoyed, mostly affectionate]

[quitesolittleheir]

Well, I did say that remembering all my manners is really hard, right?

[He grins right back at Tybalt.]

[notrequiredtomakesense]

Yes, but that doesn't mean you should ignore someone when they tell you to behave.

[A pause]

Except perhaps for that Gau.

[Sigh cats. Always picking on people]

coughs

[manaretheyugly]

Why would anyone wanna hang out with a lion?

I KNEW I COULD GET YOU TO DO IT /swag

[quitesolittleheir]

Why would anyone want to hang around with a slobbery, stinky, stupid poacher?

BU

[manaretheyugly]

Well look at that, the cub sandwich is a comedian.

[followpawprints]

[Simba? As a cub?]

You're lucky to have anyone willing to take care of you, Cub.

[quitesolittleheir]

What's that supposed to mean?

[How rude.] I'm a prince! Why wouldn't they want to take care of me?

I couldn't help myself

[followpawprints]

It means exactly what it sounds like, Your Highness.

[SMIRK] Because you are a helpless cub, regardless, of your bloodline.

/throws this old bird at

[morningreport]

"Even Zazu?" I'm shocked you're still in one piece without me there to keep an eye on you.

loveable old bird c:

[quitesolittleheir]

Hey! I can take care of myself. [He puffs his chest out self-importantly and regards him with a 'out of my way peasant' look.]

I don't need any help from Banana beak.

[cowardly_hero]

Manners? Pff, kid. You don't need those.

[quitesolittleheir]

[Oddly enough, his canon point has him completely unaware of who you are Timon. And yet has the perfect icon for the occasion]

Well, my dad says I should be polite and respectful...
