Sixth Scar [Video]

[thescaronhisface]

[The camera is focused on Kovu, who's sitting on his bed, hunched over with his hands in his lap. He seems to be scowling, but it's hard to tell from this angle. Lopmon's obviously the one holding the D-Terminal, since his voice is loud and clear.]

Free to a good home:
One former lion, young adult, male.

Quite handsome, house trained, prone to acts of aggression but actually sweet and kind, very protective.

Needs hugs on a regular basis.

[Lopmon shouts as Kovu throws a pillow right at his head, bowling him over and sending the D-Terminal flying. The feed clicks off when it hits the ground.]

[Kovu's breath catches. All at once, images of all the things he's done this last month play through his mind, ending with Squall on the train.]

It's...not easy to change in the first place.

[strengthinkindness]

I know...which is why I sometimes wish my friends could be more patient with Discord...He does try, even though he still likes to cause a little trouble sometimes. The change can't happen overnight, and he needs to be given a chance, otherwise he won't want to change...

[thescaronhisface]

Too bad most people don't see that.

[strengthinkindness]

Well, it's like I said...change doesn't happen overnight. All we can do is try our best, and help them see the changes we make. And if they truly want things to change...then they'll start changing too.

[Strabimon clears his throat from the corner, where he's been standing silently until now.]

Listen to her, Kovu. The same stuff goes for you when you get back home.

[Lopmon nods emphatically, while Kovu just kind of...deflates.

Thanks for being blunt, Strabimon...]

[strengthinkindness]

[She blinks, looking from Strabimon back to Kovu. She won't ask, but...she does wonder what kind of situation Kovu has back home that makes this so relevant.]

All you can do is try your best...

[thescaronhisface]

How many times are you gonna hear that, Kovu? How many people have to say it?

[Strabimon's only saying what he knows is on Kovu's mind. The guy might as well be screaming it out loud by now.]

Don't let him argue with you, Fluttershy. Trust me, he's gonna try.

[With his piece said, Strabimon leaves the room. The idea of bringing Fluttershy here was to get Kovu feeling better - he wasn't about to let the idiot make himself feel worse just because she was talking about one of her friends.

Kovu's left with his jaw slack, trying to even think of what to say.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She blinked, confused and a little concerned about what his Digimon was saying.]

Sh...Sh-Should I...go...?

[thescaronhisface]

[Kovu shakes his head.]

No...it's fine. I just...have a lot of stuff from back home on my mind.

[strengthinkindness]

I-I see...

Is there...anything I can do?

[thescaronhisface]

Help me forget about it for a while.

[strengthinkindness]

O...O-Okay...

[Easier said than done.]

[thescaronhisface]

Just...talk about some of your other friends. Like the ones who are here or something.

[He doesn't care, as long as she's talking about something that isn't him.]

[strengthinkindness]

O-Oh...w-well um...Oh, I heard Applejack recently arrived. I haven't seen her yet, but I think she's doing all right...

Applejack is one of the hardest-working ponies back home, and her family runs an apple farm...
