Kovu blinked. This was not what he had been expecting at all. He wasn't sure how this particular bit of information could have fallen into his captor's hands, except by way of his mother or other family member. It was, however, bad news. Had they captured someone else he knew, or... had they actually ~been~ to the Pridelands? They did have the ability to teleport, after all. Maybe they'd been watching him longer than he'd thought... Maybe they'd been keeping tabs on him for months or even years and he'd never known... That was a spooky thought.

"Ah... that..." he said after a moment. It didn't make much sense, though. Why would anyone be interested in that? He'd turned his back on that life. And how could his mother's twisted revenge fantasies even matter now? It wasn't as if he had the ability to carry them out, much less the desire to.

"She may have believed something along those lines," he admitted, trying to figure out where this conversation was going.
