Sora's apartment was close by. That was the advantage of the Townhouses. It was a silent walk, or as silent as it ever is in that area. There was always the bustle around him and the soft murmur of people going about their business in early afternoon. A few minutes walk and he reached Sora's door and gave it a rap rather than using the knocker.

Riku hadn't been to that new floor yet. And he looked forward to planning it out with his best friend.

Sora looked to the floor again. Riku was right. There was no disputing it. "I know." Sora said simply, "I should have been more careful with what I said. And now Simba doesn't want anything to do with me"

He sighed, and looked back up at Riku.

"But now his daughter's here, and... and I don't want Scar to hurt her. Simba wouldn't want that either." Of course, he meant the Simba back home. The one that knew him. The one that had a daughter.

Riku closed his eyes a second. He mumbled, "He had a daughter. That's news."

Off to one side of this table of numbers was a simple two plus two. "But if Simba doesn't remember you, and he still thinks he killed his father, he can't remember his daughter, either. Does Scar even know she's his daughter? Or that he doesn't remember her?"

"All that information is out there for everyone to see on the journals, Riku, if Scar doesn't know already, he's gonna." Sora replied, "And she already told Simba who he was."

The teen remained quiet for a moment, lifting a knuckle to his mouth in thought. "...Then Scar should know Simba wouldn't quite have the emotional attachment to his daughter that he should have. She's a target, but not as much as you might think. And if she comes from the future, can't she tell Simba about Scar? Shouldn't she know if its from her parents' past?"

"The Simba here wouldn't, but there's still a Simba out there, that will be upset if she gets hurt, or worse, killed," Sora explained, he knew that the Simba here didn't think of Kiara as a daughter, and when it came to what would happen if Kiara got hurt, he wasn't the Simba Sora was worried about in the long run. "and I can't let that happen to him"

Riku sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Sora. I get that. But what I'm saying is Scar may not use Kiara to get at Simba if he realizes she doesn't mean as much to him."

"But that doesn't make her safe either," he said, recrossing his arms. "Especially since you've said openly that you know who Kiara is and that you and Simba are supposed to be friends. If he goes after Kiara, it may not be to get at Simba. It may be to get at you."

"Look. If Simba doesn't want to accept the truth about Scar, even when multiple sources are telling him this, there's nothing we can do. Just continue trying to keep him safe. And Kiara, too. Who knows, maybe you'll save Simba's life and he'll open his eyes."
