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.]

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.

[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.

[heartdive]

Maybe I should say lions turned human instead.

[thescaronhisface]

You're the one trying to cheer up a grumpy one you barely know.

[heartdive]

At least I got you to admit you're being grumpy.

[thescaronhisface]

Score one for the kid with the weird spiky hair.

[heartdive]

Two, if you count your improved mood.

[thescaronhisface]

...One.

[heartdive]

It'll be two, eventually.

But all of this right here? What you're doing? That's the kind of thing that people need to see. This is being you.
