Pumbaa, for his own part, was very excited to meet Simba's future daughter. He really didn't understand how Simba could be here, and his daughter too, when Simba had never met another lioness, but there were a lot of things about this place he didn't really understand anyway.

"I think it's a great idea, Simba! Kiara sounded really nice when she was talking to Timon, and I bet you'll be happy to have another lion to talk to who isn't your creepy Uncle Scar." The warthog hoofed along cheerfully with Timon on his head, and smiled back at Simba to try to reassure him. "And maybe we can teach Kiara about Hakuna Matata too!"
