[there's a shrill, babbling voice of a worried mother meerkat cutting across the board]

I knew it, I knew it - why did I give him so much space? Why did I keep my mouth shut? It seemed something good to try at the time but but - he's gone! He's been gone for so long and he hasn't come back and he always came back except now! He's not coming back

What makes you think he's dead?

[voice]

[meerkatmama]

He hasn't come home! He always, always, always comes home!

How long has he been gone? Maybe we should go looking for him.

[meerkatmama]

T-Too long...

[key_ofthe_sky]

Have you tried looking?

[meerkatmama]

Yes! [sort of]

[cowardly_hero]

No, I'm not...

[key_ofthe_sky]

I guess your mom was over reacting.

[cowardly_hero]

My... N-no, she's, uh... A cousin!

[key_ofthe_sky]

Yeah, sure, Timon, you go around calling your cousin "Ma."

[cowardly_hero]

It's a nickname, short for Melisa.
