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.]

Comments

[heartdive]

I will come over. Not too sure I'll convince him of anything, but I'll try.

[thescaronhisface]

Thanks! If he doesn't listen to you, just try to get him to think about something else, at least.

[heartdive]

Now that, I can probably do.

[thescaronhisface]

He's not really going anywhere, so you can come whenever you want.

[heartdive]

Where are you guys at?

[thescaronhisface]

We're in his room in HospiTown.

[heartdive]

All right. I'll be around in about an hour, okay?

[thescaronhisface]

Yeah! See ya then!

[heartdive]

[ an hour because it's going to take Sora that long to find which place is Kovu's.

cue knocking on every. single. door until he gets to the correct one. :> ]

[thescaronhisface]

[Lopmon opens the door and lets Sora in. Kovu's still sitting on the bed, looking...not much different from how he did an hour ago.]

Thanks for showing up.

[heartdive]

Sure thing! I might not know Kovu well, but I would really like to, you know?

[ Sora's just going to, you know. poke his head in. just look at that sourpuss face. that's no good at all. ]

Um. Hi there.

[ because hey strange kid. in your place. trying to cheer some guy up. Sora hasn't really had much luck in that department lately! ]

[thescaronhisface]

[One corner of Kovu's lip pulls up. How many people did Lopmon get to come over, anyway?

But this one he knows...well, kind of. He turns his head after a second, making sure his guess is right.]

...Sora?

[heartdive]

Yup! That's me.

[ okay. that's a good sign. and now Sora slips into the room a little more. ]

Your partner thinks that I can help. Dunno if I can, but I'll do my best to cheer you up at least.

[thescaronhisface]

If Lopmon had his way I'd never get any time alone.

[heartdive]

Well if being alone means you're going to make that expression all day, I can kinda see why.

[thescaronhisface]

Very funny.

[heartdive]

I think so!

[ but really... Sora's original opinion still stands. ]

You're really nothing like him. Not from what I've seen.

[thescaronhisface]

[That was...sudden. It feels like all the air's been taken out of his lungs when Sora says that.]

You've only talked to me once.

[heartdive]

That's all I needed, Kovu.

[ and it's pretty much true. the things that upset the lion pretty much guarantee that he's not gonna be anything like Scar. which is a good thing! ]

[thescaronhisface]

[Why does Kovu always want to argue with people when they say stuff like this?]

Sorry, I...

[He deflates, and shuts his eyes tight.]

I was supposed to be just like him, so it's...it's hard to think of myself as anything else.

[heartdive]

I'd think it'd be a good thing, you know... And maybe you should stop thinking about what you're supposed to be and, well. Be.

[thescaronhisface]

I don't even know how to do that.

[heartdive]

I don't think that anyone really does.

[thescaronhisface]

...Is that supposed to help?

[heartdive]

It should, I think. I mean it means that you're free to chart your own course, Kovu.
