#「 IC ♚┊ Simba 」

[dreamycollective]

Paws trace a familiar path outside Pride Rock's den. Simba was careful not to wake his pride as he made his way out into the cool night air. A light breeze rustled through his great mane, while a breath of relief escaped his maw. Just a dream...

As the king padded closer to the rock's peak, he noticed a familiar shape already there. He smiled softly and approached the meerkat.

" Can't sleep either, big guy? "

   “ Heh, you’ve gotta be a little more stealthy than that to catch some dinner, Sora. ”

[dreamycollective]

   “ Slow down. What’s wrong? ”

   “ The great kings are up there... Watching over us. ”

   “ What are you doing in the Pride Lands? ”

Injuries Starters

@feraliix​ asked: “It was an accident!” (( sora @ simba !! 8) ))

   “ Now, son... The only way a lion gets nose full porcupine spines is by sticking it where it doesn’t belong. ” The King smiled sympathetically. “ I’m proud of you for learning to hunt by yourself... but again, I would advise avoiding the sharp ones. Okay, you better hold still. ”

   Lowering his head, Simba placed his teeth over one of the spines and promptly tugged it out.

“Don’t eat that!” (for Simba!)

Shit I’ve said to my cat; sentence starters

    “ What’s the matter, Zazu? Don’t’cha eat this kinda stuff too? Am I stealin’ your lunch? ”

   Looking at his majordomo with a smirk reminiscent of his cub years upon his muzzle, Simba slurped up an extremely large grub that he had been holding beneath his paw. Licking his chops, he began rooting for more before he continued his patrol with the hornbill.

     “ C’mon, Zazu, y’want in on this? ”

    A soft chuffing of contentment rumbled in the King’s throat as he gently rests his head against hers. His tail curled around her as he pondered the idea more. They really did need some quality time together as it seemed as though they were always occupied. Nala was busy leading the hunting party while Simba was busy with patrols and diplomacy. He had really been craving a day together to be themselves again-- to become as carefree as cubs.

      “ I’ve been thinking about it... and I’m certain Kiara and Kovu can look after things for a day. It’ll be great practise for them too. We’ll have to let Zazu know where we are in case of emergency. ”

   Nope, he’s not waking up, you can’t make him.

   He might be fully grown and ruling the kingdom now, but Simba still looked up to his mother. Her seeing him like this made him feel as though he were a cub again-- a cub getting into trouble and needing mum to make it all better.

   Simba gave her a small, sheepish smile, knowing he wasn’t getting away with anything under her sharp eye. Obeying her command, he dipped his head and sat down beside her, wincing with the movement.

      “ You should've seen the other guy, ” the king chuckled softly. “ I found him in our territory on my patrol. The cheetahs told me. He was aggressive, but I chased him out. ”

   Hyenas were one thing, but rouge male lions were extremely dangerous. They would kill cubs without a second thought. Thankfully they were usually much meeker due to not having their own pride, so Simba’s power was enough to clear them off.

          “ Father..? Are you there? ”

              “ ---I had that nightmare again... ”

   The king was alone, sitting upon a grassy knoll as he gazed up at the sea of stars above him. His eyes were imploring the great kings above to answer his call for support. He would have woken Nala, but she just looked so content, curled up with Kiara, he didn’t have the heart to disturb his beautiful girls.

      So he was out here, feeling as helpless as a cub.

"hakuna matata daddy"

     Simba smiled at his daughter, full of pride and warmth.

            “ Hakuna matata, Kiara.                                  It means no worries, fooor the rest of your daaays~  ”

[dreamycollective]

"What if I can't hunt? What if I miss and I'm no good?" (to Simba)

   Simba gave his daughter a kind smile and gently butted his head against hers in a reassuring gesture. “ You’ll do fine, Kiara. Trust me, it’s in your blood. Your mother is the finest hunter I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. With her guidance, I know you’ll be just as great. ”

Simba, have you ever considered taking Vitani is as one of your own?

     “ Hm? What do you mean? Vitani is part of the pride now. She's family        so she is one of my own. She's as valuable as every other lion here. ”
