The Story [/b] Maybe he was going in circles.
He'd been wandering the tall grass for a while, unable to see pride rock. He was just too little.
He tried to jump and see, tumbling as he landed.
"Oof... aw man." >< An old, blue zebra with white stripes and eyeglasses (!) trotted through the grass, singing a song to himself about determination. *A rustling sound in the dry grass, and a small 'oof' is heard behind the blue and white Zebra.*
Merlin! Hang on...I haven't quite got--WHOA, WHAT, WHOA!
*A scrawny golden lion cub, with pale blonde hair and black eyes trips over his own paws. He shakes his head, rubbing it with a forpaw.*
...haven't quite gotten used to walking on all four. >>; He perked his ears forward. Singing?[color=blueThe zebra stopped and looked back at the lion cub. He couldn't help but chuckle. "Easy, there, Wart; take your time. Soon you'll see how to walk!"[/color] Kopa wasn't the only one who heard singing! Scar was nearby and the sounds of music reached his ears. This annoyed the lion who much preferred to be left sulking and he followed the sound. As he padded towards the annoying voice, his nostrils clenched. Scar lifted his head and sniffed the air. Zebra. Kopa was too young to know very many smells, let alone tell a zebra's from much else. But, it sounded friendly. So, he followed the voice, creeping as best he could (which still wasnt *that* quiet. *Arthur got up, steadying his footing, looking down. This was slightly different than running on all fours as a squirrel, as he also had to maneuver a set of large paws as well. Once he's able to get a reasonable stride down with them, he looks to Merlin, curiously, his tail slowly waving from side to side.*
What exactly is the lesson today, Merlin?
*Suddenly, he heard rustling in the grass.*
Wait, did you hear that? "Confidence," Merlin the zebra replied. He, too, heard the noise from the grass, and he looked to Kopa's direction. "Hmmm?" No doubt a zebra wearing spectacles would confuse any animal in Africa. He could see them through the grass now. Another lion cub! He lifted his head, ears perked forward, and walked out so they could see him.
He started to ask who Arthur was when he saw the oddly-colored Zebra. His ears wilted slightly.
"Uh..." Scar crept quietly through the grass, hardly making a sound against the blades of grass that brushed his paws and legs. He kept low to the ground and when he was close enough to the zebra he picked up two other scents, which made him come to a halt. Lions. The scent of these two were unrecognizable and he moved closer to inspect the situation. The sight of a blue tail caught his eye and Scar's eyes widened at a set of matching blue striped legs. Was this Mozenrath in disguise? He was a very powerful human and he was looking for two cubs. Scar's eyes shifted from side to side as he thought, and then very quietly he rose up from the grass, looking as if he had just popped out of thin air. 'What's this?' he said silkily to the zebra and the two, yes, cubs. Kopa turned, looking up at the large lion. He perked his ears forward, tilting his head. "Who're you?" The blue-and-white zebra heard the young cub, and looked to it. "Hmm?" Then a lion popped up, as if out of thin air. "Oh." "That," Merlin replied to the cub, regarding Scar, "is a panthera leo--or, a lion." He looked to the cub again. "Heh, you're one, too." He didn't seemed threatened by Scar's presence... yet. Scar lifted a brow when the zebra spoke and paced before the three looking at them curiously. 'I think the more important question is "who are you?" I've never seen you around these parts before and I am almost always found wandering the pride lands.' Kopa gave Scar a look so similar to one Simba may have worn-- a smirk that said 'yeah right'.
"That's not true. *I*'ve* never seen you before.""I am Merlin," the zebra replied. He then motioned his head to his cub companion. "And this is the Wart."*Arthur hides and shyly peeks his head out from behind Merlin's back leg, looking at the two other lions. The other cub didn't seem all that intimidating. The black-maned lion, however...was another story altogether. He gives a small wave with a paw when introduced.*
Uh...hello. ^^; ‘Well you’re just not looking hard enough,’ he replied, his tone still friendly, but with a hint of annoyance in it. He spoke to Kopa like he would to Simba when he was a young cub. Well, Simba still was a young cub, but in reality, shouldn’t be. ‘Wart,’ the lion repeated flatly after being introduced. Scar’s lifted a brow and regarded Arthur like he was some sort of alien species. He turned towards Merlin, ignoring the other lion’s greeting and said, ‘And where do you two come from?’ "We are from England," said Merlin. "We are here in Africa today to learn. I am the Wart's tutor."

He arched a brow at Scar and then looked away, wondering if Rafiki knew he'd snuck away yet...

England? England was a place where they put animals like him on display for humans to observe. There were places like that in Africa too, however nowhere near the Pridelands.
'And what do you want to learn, exactly?'

"Today's lesson is determination," Merlin replied. He then looked to Kopa. "What's your name, little cub?"

He looked up at Merlin again, ears wilting just a little out of shyness. "Kopa."

'Well if anyone knows anything about that it's me,' said Scar haughtily. Kopa? He didn't recognise the name. Scar glanced down at the young cub with a suspicious look.
'And you're sure you're from around here?'
