Waste Not Want

[John Silver]

Date: January 4th, Dawn

p It was early dawn, the misty fog hovered over the grasslands as the old cyborg made his way to the watering hole, a favored spot by all the animals of the Pridelands. Silver scooped his bucket into the water and heaved back with a soft grunting noise and mechanical whirl of his right arm. This water would be for the troops, once it was cleaned and sanitized of course. A small group of zebras drink nearby making small ripples in the otherwise still surface of the water.  “Jambo, Mr. Silver” a young colt looks up from across the water giving a bob of his head in greeting to which Silver waved back, noting the colt’s presents.

Kopa was sitting near the other side of the watering hole, his mane red and a tuft of hair sticking out from the front which fell in front of his face. But he had gotten used to it. It had been with him once he was born. He dipped his head to drink from the watering hole when he saw John Silver's reflection. He blinked to make sure he saw that right. He did. He walked across the water, but the water only reached his lower stomach. He then asked. "Um, what are you doing?" Kopa asked with a confused expression.

[John Silver]

U "Um, what are you doing?"  "Huh?" Silver's cybernetic eye zoomed on on the teenage lion from across the pond and gave a smile. "Prince Kopa, Tis a honor," Silver chuckled. "I'm just fetching some water for the other soldiers back at camp is all." He set the pail of water down, no sense to continue holding it now that he had someone to talk too. "What brings you to the watering hole, besides a drink i warrant? Any other reason lad?" he questioned. WORDS Kopa

[qoute]"What brings you to the watering hole, besides a drink I warrant? Any other reason lad?"
Kopa nodded, actually needing something from the cyborg. "No one ever told me what happened to my father, and I've been dying know since I joined the Freedom Fighters. Do you know?" Kopa gave Silver a questioning stare. He hoped Silver would answer. He had joined the Freedom Fighters primarily so he could find out what happened. But then he grew too attached to the idea of helping the innocent and fighting for a good cause. [/qoute]

"No one ever told me what happened to my father, and I've been dying know since I joined the Freedom Fighters. Do you know?"

Silver raised a brow at the lion. Why on earth would he know anything about the lad's father? He did hear jest of it in a meeting, the king had died, no one was really sure how. It was a mystery, plain and simple "Unfortunately, i don't know a thing about your father's passing. Sorry lad, all the same i'm sorry for your loss" Silver picked his words carefully

@ words:

Kopa looked down, "Oh..." He felt disappointed. His red mane blew in the wind and his red eyes stared at the cyborg. He felt anger boil inside of him but made himself calm down. He looked at Silver for a moment, then realized something. "Who was the group who killed him?" He hadn't been there when they had gotten attacked, or after when the meeting was held because of the attack. "Here it begins."

"I told you, i don't know" Silver says, more firmly his eye flickering an orange tint signaling for the teenager to drop it. He wouldn't find any answers with the old cyborg. "Lad..." his voice returned to a more softer tone. "Ya would have better luck with asking yer family members, people who were close to yer father"  WORDS Kopa

Kopa blinked. Family members? Then he remembered... "Oh... do you know where one of them could be?" he asked in a patient tone, hoping that Silver might know this. He didn't know many of his family members other than his younger brother and sister, Kiara and Kion. He stared at the cyborg, patiently awaiting a response.

[Kion]

The younger cub had been sitting on the far bank for a few minutes now, mostly ignoring the two. He was still super down since news of his father's death had reached the camp, and although Kopa voiced the questions that burned inside of him too, Kion wasn't going to just waltz up to any random stranger and ask them what happened. The likelihood was no one knew. Kion himself didn't know. If he had to hazard a guess...

He had padded up to the two and stood for a moment listening to Kopa ask the man about his family's whereabouts before he spoke. "Kopa, I'm...pretty sure he doesn't know the answer to that." He tilted his head slightly, still looking perturbed. "If I had to hazard a guess, it was probably an Outsider. Maybe that weird lioness I met named Zira. She had a ... different way of looking at things than we do..." She was power hungry, bottom line. She said lions were meant to rule over all. But... why would she want Simba dead?

[Kopa]

Kopa whipped around to see Kion. "Zira? I've heard about her. I guess I could..." Kopa tried to avoid the Outlands as much as possible. And the Outsiders as well. "Where is she?"
