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.]

[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.

[thescaronhisface]

[Kovu has to think about that for a second. It just doesn't sound that easy.]

But what if I go the wrong way?

[heartdive]

That's what friends are for. I know I can trust Riku and Kairi to keep me from straying too much. They'll get me back on track.

[thescaronhisface]

[The first face in Kovu's mind is Squall's. And then Nala's.]

I...don't have a lot of friends here. Not anymore.

[Just...Beastboy and Hollyleaf, really. And beastboy's not doing any better than he is...]

[heartdive]

Yeah...

[ some of the people that had left had been his friends too. he understands that feel. but... ]

You just make more. Sure, you'll never replace the friends that you've had, but making new ones is never bad.

[thescaronhisface]

I not...very good at that.

[heartdive]

You seem to be doing okay right here.

[ making friends with him, that is. ]

[thescaronhisface]

You're kidding, right?

[How does someone make friends by sulking like this?]

[heartdive]

How many people are trying to check up on you right now?

[thescaronhisface]

That's just because of Lopmon.

[heartdive]

I don't think it's JUST because of Lopmon.

[thescaronhisface]

Then what is it?

[heartdive]

Pretty sure they care about you too, duh!

[thescaronhisface]

They don't even know me. I've never met some of them before at all.

[heartdive]

It's still a start. And sometimes you don't really have to know a person to care about them. Some people are just like that.

[thescaronhisface]

That's...still something I'm not that used to.

[heartdive]

You just need to keep working at it until you are.

[thescaronhisface]

[Kovu shakes his head, but there's a hint of a smile playing at his lips.]

You humans are so weird.

[heartdive]

[ Sora snorts, putting his hands behind his head. ]

So are lions.

[thescaronhisface]

Tch. Says you.
