"Wait, he told you about that?" It took a moment for the initial shock of that to wear off. "...And he invited you along?" Did he have any idea how hard it would be to hunt with her around? She still had a lot to learn, and she couldn't even stalk her prey without scaring them off. He only barely managed not to roll his eyes at the thought, and even then he had to close his eyes for a second so she wouldn't see him start.

He took a deep breath and let it out. "So...you're coming with us?" A few more seconds passed, then Kovu finally thought of a good thing about this: it meant that he wouldn't have to be alone with Simba. This let him avoid one of the most awkward things he could have been doing...even if it had been his idea in the first place. "All right, what else did you want to talk about?"

"Well, yes?" she said, confused why Kovu was acting a bit like he didn't want her to? No, that couldn't be it, could it? She'd been fairly certain he'd be pleased she was coming along. Kiara looked rather confused.

"And, well, we have a lot to talk about, don't we?" she said, settling down on her haunches. Apart from telling Kovu about her conversation with Simba, there was a lot else to talk about. She hadn't forgotten that he'd wanted to tell her something before her father had interrupted them to ask to speak to Kovu. Then there was the ambush... She was more than curious to find out what had actually happened.

Not to mention there was Simba's offer of a place to stay, and, well, probably a lot more things she wasn't thinking of.

"Oh...right." He sighed. Some of this he really didn't want to be discussing, but he didn't have much of a choice. There were things he needed to tell her...and probably she had stuff to tell him, too. He just hoped none of it was too bad.

"...Did everything...go well?" he asked meekly, begging to the stars that it had gone well and asking wasn't going to make her sad. She was going to join him and Simba on the hunt, so that meant it had to ended the way she wanted it to, right? She wouldn't have been so happy at the idea of coming along if if her conversation with her dad hadn't been very good.

"I mean, he didn't say anything stupid, did he?" And of course, by asking that question, Kovu himself had just said something stupid. Oh yeah, great way to start a long talk about stuff that was so serious. Sound like a total idiot in front of the only lioness who's ever you any kindness.

"Kovu," she chided softly, giving him a momentary look.

"It went fine. Good even," she said, as she thought over the evening. "Well, sort of. Good in that... I'm pretty sure he believes I'm his daughter now, and, well, good that he now knows the truth."

Realizing Kovu might not understand, Kiara quickly explained, "After the stampede, Daddy left the Pride Lands and grew up in a jungle with Timon and Pumbaa. He... thought it was his fault, it wasn't till my mother found him and he was convinced to come home, did he find out it was Scar who'd been responsible for Mufasa's death."

Of course, she was still assuming Kovu at least knew the jist of what had happened to her grandfather.

"This... place, somehow, has brought him here from before my mother found him, so... he was still blaming himself. ...And trusting Scar."

"...What...?" Kovu stepped back. He'd never heard that about Scar before. "Scar...what? But..."

He stopped talking. He couldn't even think of anything to say. With his eyes shut as tight as he could, he turned his back on Kiara. His whole life, his mother had been lying to him, and training him to take revenge on Simba, and convincing him that it was all Simba's fault that they had to live in the Outlands, and...it was Scar? Kovu didn't want to admit it, but...it hurt. Scar wasn't...he wasn't Kovu's father, and he'd hardly ever really acted like one. But that didn't...Scar was still part of him, even if he didn't like it now. But to find out one day that Scar didn't remember his heir at all...and then the next that Scar had done something so horrible...He'd even made Simba blame himself for it! It was too much. It was just...too much."...I gotta go." With a deep breath, but without saying anything more, Kovu started walking away from Kiara. It was the second time since they'd gotten here that he'd found himself wanting ( ... )
