I have been in this city for quite a few days now, almost three weeks. And yet I have met almost no one else that resides here besides a good friend from home.

So I ask, is there anyone here who would like to talk for just a bit? I am not particular as to what we talk about, I am just curious.

What's there to talk about?

[jewelsummoned]

There's always something to talk about! We can start with introducing ourselves.

I am Dagger, and you are?

[Perma-voice]

[scaronhisface]

...Kovu.

[Ditto]

[jewelsummoned]

It is very nice to meet you then, Kovu.

[scaronhisface]

Sure...

[jewelsummoned]

A man of few words, I see.

[scaronhisface]

I'm a lion.

[jewelsummoned]

A... lion?

[scaronhisface]

Yeah. You know, one of those "monsters" that everyone keeps talking about.

[jewelsummoned]

[A brief pause.]

No monster I know has even introduced himself to me as you have.

[scaronhisface]

Well, now one has.

[jewelsummoned]

I don't think you're a monster.

[scaronhisface]

You don't even know me.

[jewelsummoned]

You're right, I do not. But you haven't given me any reason to judge you, either.

So perhaps I should remain neutral instead.

[scaronhisface]

No! That's not- ...That's not it.

I'm just...not used to hearing that from someone I haven't met.

[jewelsummoned]

I do not make it a habit to make cruel assumptions about those I just met.
