What am I supposed to do with all this snow - is that what folk have been calling it? The cold is treacherous and my son is sick from being out in it so long. [pause] I hope everyone's taking care of themselves. When you stop shivering it doesn't mean you're suddenly not cold anymore!

This weather is terrible! What kind of place just snows and snows all the time anyway?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

Certainly not where I'm from!

No wonder people get sick in this stuff. I thought it was pretty at first, but...

Um, have you tried contacting some of the healers around? I can do a little and I know some others are around. Maybe we can help your son.

[meerkatmama]

Healers? [what's this magic mumbo jumbo; but she sighs] Even if they could do something that I can't, he'd likely just get himself in the same mess soon after.

[throwtheroses]

Awwwooo? Timon is sick?

Maybe chicken soup will help... I think... What do meerkats have when they're sick?

[voice]

[meerkatmama]

Chicken soup? [whaaaaaat she doesn't eat meat] Rest and more rest.

[voice]

[throwtheroses]

I guess maybe bug soup or something.

Oh well, I hope he gets better, do you guys need some blankets or anything?

[voice]

[meerkatmama]

Hmmm bug soup... but there aren't any bugs...

I'm good when it comes to blankets!

Timon is sick? It's a good thing he's got you to take care of him.

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

[there's a quiet grumble] If only he saw it that way... I just wish I knew more about what to do with this weather.

[Voice]

[shout_geronimo]

He's your child. Children always go through at least one rebellious phase in their lives. I'm sure he appreciates you, though.

It's been going for awhile, hasn't it?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

Maybe.

It has. I can get around it but I'd rather it not be so cold.

[scaronhisface]

He's...sick?

[OH GOD THE CRUSHING GUILT.]

[voice]

[meerkatmama]

Yes.

[voice]

[scaronhisface]

[whispered, rather angrily] I should've helped him look...

How...How bad is he?

[voice]

[meerkatmama]

[wrong meerkat to ask that, Kovu...]

He's terrible! He was hallucinating! And hysterical! My poor son...

[Voice]

[overlords_wrath]

...you're Timon's mom?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

[sheesh you'd think that Timon tries to keep her under everyone's frame of attention - oh wait]

That's right!

[Voice]

[overlords_wrath]

Huh.

...Are you sure he's actually sick?

[Voice]

[meerkatmama]

Of course he's actually sick!
