Santiago's stubbornness would eventually get the best of him. There were certain situations in which he wouldn't just drop the current conversation. This was one of them. "It's just...out of everybody in the pride, I feel more at peace around you. Truth be told, I think I'm falling for you. Oh, and by the way? I didn't do any fighting, I was trying to find your bum," Santiago whispered with a chuckle as he tried to lighten the mood.
He turned his head to look at Vitani once more as the breeze whipped his jet black mane around before blowing some of it into his face and covering his eyes. The way his mane was messed up made him look like a goofball as he sat down on his rump before addressing the others.
"Oh, uh, yeah, I'm Santiago," Sanitago replied as he offered a forepaw.

"I was wondring if you wan-ted to talk to m-me some more." Laini said softly, trying her best to imitate how confident he sounded. She hated herself for not being able to speak properly! She didn't see how it helped her, nor why the Great Kings chose her for the burden.

"Sure, that'd be great. What do you wanna talk about?" Kago asked as his ears flicked a bit while he addressed Laini. He was glad she was finally talking now, it seems that she had had trouble doing so since she arrived at the Pride Lands.

Vitani couldn't help but giggle at the way Santiago looked, with his mane covering his eyes.
"Hehe, you can't even look at me Santiago. Your mane covers your eyes. Am I really that ugly to you?" She said in a light hearted tone.
Vitani held back her laughter for a moment as she tried to take Santiago's words seriously.
"Well, to be honest Santiago, I've always been fond of you. Ever since I met you, and you told me about...erm...your past, you know, I've always felt like, we've had some kind of bond. Something that links us closer than any one else in these lands. Maybe it's just cause we've both had a rough past or maybe it's just fate. Either way, I always do care about you too and...I never want anything bad to happen to you either." She finished saying, looking away from Santiago, not wanting to show her embarrassment in front of her long time friend.

Sanitago laughed as he used his paw to fix his mane. "I swear it's more of a curse than a blessing," He said with a laugh as he listened to Vitani before smiling. She was right, something about their dark pasts is what made them such good friends in the first place, and ever since they seemed to be only getting closer. Now that he got his feelings for Vitani off of his chest all Santiago had to worry about was Kovu.
He nuzzled Vitani once more before speaking again, in a soft tone this time. "No, 'Tani, you're not ugly. You're the most beautiful lioness I've met. And I mean that." He smiled as the wind whipped his mane around a bit more.

Simba heard zazu. he to also saw the hyenas.. he pushed nala out of the way with his head. and battld them off. there was only maybe 5 hyenas left. simba saw arsalan fighting. simba then took to of them down and then left three. Arsalan and the other lioness took them. then none were left. simba stared at nala who was angry why he pushed her. but he would explain later. he trooted up to her and said "i love you" Nala woke to Simba pushing her aside. She got up shaking, with a frown on her face. "Why'd you..." Her voice trailed off as he said three simple words. I love you. She looked to the ground and repeated them to her self, for a moment. She looked up to him, still confused, but smiling. She embraced him, and whispered in his ear, "I love you, too." That was all she needed to know. She was sure he would explain himself to her, but she didnt need an explaination. She was sure that he had a good reason. She had no memory of falling unconsious, and had lost much memory of the fight. All she remembered is fighting a bunch of hyenas, then suddenly being on the ground and being pushed to the side as Simba finishes off the remaining five. As walked back to Pride Rock together, she wished to be nowhere else in the world. Zazu, releived that the fight was over, flew overhead as everyone headed back. "A job well done, Zazu!" He said to himself. He settled on the very top of the hudge rock (known to everyone in the area as "Pride Rock") and looked to the sky as the sunset.

Ravenna listened and waited for an answer. She heard someone say she could say, but she wasnt sur.e she was nervous. She sat down with her hears flattened lightly. she looked down at Trinket who smiled lightly. Ravenna purred softly at her daughter and looked at the others. They seemed nice, but she couldnt be sure. So did her ex mate, Trinkets father. He ended up taking the strong cubs, killing them and left her with the small one. but nothing was could make her stop loving Trinket. Ravenna looked at the others and ledt her tail sway nervously.

Vitani blushed heavily from Santiago's flattering words, lifting a paw to lightly brush Santiago's mane away from his eyes. She looked deeply into them, feeling a strong urge to show her own feelings towards him as well, but she held back a bit, managing to nuzzle him in return, purring softly.
"Aww, you're so sweet Santiago. I've never been called beautiful before by any lion." She whispered back to him, keeping a steady gaze upon him as she could feel her heart rate picking up speed.

Santiago smiled as he gazed into Vitani's eyes. He felt his heart rate pick up as well, but he ignored it as he nosed the lioness in front of him before speaking, "I love you, Vitani."
And that was true too. All that the two had been through together before today, how they had been there to comfort one another, how he had missed her when he had to go away from the Pride Lands for a week on a mission for Simba. He was surprised he didn't realize his feelings for the lioness until now.
Right now he knew he loved Vitani, and nothing would change that.

Kovu sat there quietly, staring into the waterhole for a few minutes until he moved up on all fours, padding off in the direction where he previously was. He wasn't really thinking of much at the moment, trying to get things off of his mind as he can tell everything in the Pridelands seem to be resolved from Simba and everyone else. Kovu happened to pass Pride Rock, glancing up at the huge den that belonged to Simba and Nala. "I didn't notice how big this place is until now." Kovu thought out loud once more as he padded along the familiar path where Kiara and everyone else apparently were at.

Vitani was shocked. She had never expected Santiago to confess his love for her. She knew that he had feelings for her, but she had no clue about how deep those feelings ran. She was temporarily stunned, unable to speak. She swallowed hard and composed herself as she replied.
"Sa..Santiago. I, I don't know what to say. I...I love you too." She stuttered. She tried to keep her cool as she looked over at the young lioness and her cub, who where still sitting nearby.
"Um, maybe we should take those two to see Simba, what do you say Santiago? They seem a bit scared for some reason." Vitani whispered, not meaning to ruin the mood, but wanting to help the two lions as well.

[[Oops... XD I didn't read correctly, are the other lions at the watering hole? Well, I'll change my post to this ====> ]]

As the pair walked over to the others, she wished to be nowhere else in the world.

Laini frowned. "I've never talked to anyone before, so I don't k-know." she said slowly, trying not to stumble over any words. This was probably the longest sentence she had ever said out loud, and she was proud of it - and herself.

"I think that that would be a good idea," Santiago whispered in return as the wind calmed down. He knew that Vitani meant well by wanting to take the lioness and her cub to see Simba so the question hadn't really ruined the mood. Not to him at least.
"You know, you can call me San or Santi if you want," He added. San was the nickname that some of the other lions and lionesses in the Pride Lands addressed him by, but Santi? That was a nickname that he was picky about. He made it a point to only let the lioness he fell in love with call him by that name.
He smiled a bit as he looked towards the water hole. "Looks like the entire pride's getting a drink and socializing," He said with a laugh.
-----
"It's huge isn't it?" Kiara replied as she turned around to see Kovu padding over to the water hole. She smiled as she got up and walked over to her mate before falling into step with him.
"So, are you okay? I mean you seem to have been keeping a closer eye on Vitani recently," Kiara commented casually as if what she said wasn't a big deal. Maybe not to her, but she couldn't get inside Kovu's mind and read it so she wasn't entirely sure if she hit a nerve.
-----
"Uh. Well, did you like the zebra that we ate for dinner last night?" Kago asked, quickly thinking of a conversation starter. And of course, being the young and growing cub that he is, he picked food.

Laini was slow to respond, "It was o-kay... Did you li-ke it?" Laini said, smiling. In truth, she hadn't gotten very much to eat. In her mind, she should be the one to eat last because she needed the least amount of food, despite Simba's rule of having the cubs eat first.

"Yeah, I love zebra. What about you, what's your favourite food?" Kago asked, still trying to think about conversation starters. He also had to work to prevent his mouth from watering at the thought of being able to eat a large zebra.

simba stared at him then said "Its going good i just dont now where they come from." Simba chuckled. Simba said "i have to go see arsalan be back"
"Arsalan your still in the same postition whats wrong?"
"Simba before you jump to whats wrong with me whats wrong with her?" Arsalan asked trying to stand up. "Who" simba Asked "Laini. I tried talking to her. she seemed very depressed, at the same time nervous. i tried to talk with her but she said she had to go inside." Arsalan said. "Well i dont know, maybe someone knows. Back to you." "Its nothing its just my leg, if it wasnt for that stupid hyena biting it i would have been walking.Simba trust me i will be fine. Just go see whats wrong with laini. i will be in soon." Arsalan smiled. Simba trooted to the den.
Arsalan was thinking. "Okay i lied to simba! My leg hurts like never before, and i cant walk.. what now." he sighed.
Simba-
"Have any of you seen laini?"

Kovu continued on to move towards where the den was located until he heard a familiar voice. He stopped and glanced over, only to see Kiara not too far behind, which made him feel a little uneasy about the whole situation. Hearing upon the question, Kovu kept quiet at first, not wanting to express how he felt. "Oh, no. Don't worry about it, Kiara, I just needed some time alone. About Vitani, I'm sure Santiago found her by now." Kovu replied, stopping suddenly as his claws ejected from both fore paws, digging them into the ground.
Kovu glanced back over at Kiara, wondering why she was traveling around so suddenly. "So, what are you doing around here, Kiara? How is everyone else doing?" Kovu tried to change subjects, not liking the idea talking about Vitani nor Santiago for that matter as he showed a faint smile.

"We're still breathing if that's what you mean," Kiara said with a half smirk which eventually faded away when she noticed the digging. She knew it was unlike Kovu to dig when he was talking, remembering the only other time she saw him doing it was when he was nervous. She raised an eyebrow as she looked at her mate.
"Something's bugging you Kovu. You know you can talk to me, right?" Kiara asked in a concerned tone as she sat down. In all honesty she was worried about the lion, he had been behaving differently recently. She wasn't sure if it was coincidence, but it was about the same time that Santiago and Vitani began spending more time together than usual. "This is about Vitani, isn't it? And Santiago?"

Ravenna listened to the others and smiled ever so softly as they said she should go talk to Simba. She had heard of him befre, and she was even more nervous. She had heard he was a large lion, yet he was something like a big cuddely bug. She knew that wasnt going to be him. She sighed and lookked down at Trinket. She lifted her and placed her in her shoulders. She was so tiny....she licked her head and looked back at the others. She shook slightly. You couldnt really notice it, unless you were riiight there. She sighed and looked back at the others.
