He at first thought to ask Kovu directly, but then again, maybe asking the both of them would be okay. "Do either of you happen to know a meerkat named Timon? It was a while back when he and I went into a conversation over the journals..." He chose to be a bit careful on how to mention a bit of what they talked about. "There was a rather close call I experienced, having to do with a really unnatural fog that used to appear every night."

Jake could have brought up Scar, but to have a confirmation about Timon being somewhere in Paixao would be enough. It was decided right then and there to only go further into a false alibi when there's no dodging around it.
