Character(s): Vitani, and whoever finds her
Content: Vitani is trying to familiarize herself with her new surroundings
Setting: Muspelheim gate
Time: Afternoon,
Warnings: None
Since it's her intro log, I'm gonna go ahead and mark it as multi-thread "party-style"

Then again, it wasn't often she suddenly ended up in a entirely new place, with no idea of how she got there. Vitani had at one time acted as a scout, she knew her directions, where she had come from, how to get back, but Paixao was something entirely new. So, what better thing to do than explore a bit, look around and see what she can find? Which should someone happen to run into her, is exactly what she's doing.

Walking along the streets, she stays out of the way, along the curbs of the walks ways she goes down. Best to not be too conspicuous. She occasionally pauses, sometimes because something like the shiney leaves of the plants caught her eye or because someone walking by got a bit too close for her liking. But then it's only a second before she's wandering around again, just as curious and cautious as before.

After a while, though, she finds a spot to sit down, tired of walking. So, Vitani simply rests a bit, taking a deep breath to try to locate a familiar scent and sighing somewhat irritably when she can find none.

"When Nuka died, Mother struck you."

This unsettled her a bit. There was no way to just erase a scar as if it had never been there...but he had been talking strangely over the journals. If Scar and Zira were here...maybe it was possible something was going on here as well?

That hit home harder this time than it had over the journals, hearing it face to face. "Mother..and Nuka..." Kovu didn't know what to think. He'd never...He didn't like his brother very much, and his mother was...well, she was crazy, but...he would never want them to...

He looked down at his paws, letting out a long breath. "How did...how did all of that happen? Or...will...since I haven't gone through it yet." He wasn't sure he wanted the answer, but maybe it would help explain some things. Like how Vitani was suddenly so much more...well...normal.

There's a second, though it seems like longer, that Vitani is just silent. Then she sighs, her own gaze falling a bit and taking a deep breath before she speaks.

"...there was a ambush. In it, you wouldn't finish off Simba, so Nuka tried to, only...he was crushed under the logs he was trying to climb over to get to Simba. After, Mother seemed to blame you for it, and struck you." She stops then, to give it a moment to sink in, before continuing.

"As for Mother, after Nuka's death she decided to take the Pridelands by force. We invaded...but you and Kiara interrupted her and Simba's fight. In the end, we all had joined the Pridelanders...all except Mother. She tried to attack Simba, but Kiara jumped in the way. They fell down over the edge of the ravine, Kiara was fine, but Mother fell into the river rather than let herself be saved."

When she's done with the explaination, she just stays quiet, he gaze drifting back up to see Kovu's reaction.

"How could something like that be my fault?! It's not like it was my fault the idiot went and got himself killed!" Kovu didn't know why he was yelling at Vitani. That wasn't going to change anything, and, for him, that had never even happened.

But yet again, he was glad for the version of Simba that was here in Paixao. The one that hadn't done any of this, and didn't even know anything about it.

There's a small little growl in response to the yelling, Vitani certainly didn't appreciate it. "You know how Mother is."

Just simple as that. Vitani doesn't really know what else to say, anyway, because that does a fair enough job of it in the first place.

Kovu sighed. "Yeah...I know." There...wasn't really anything else to say. Zira was...just...Kovu shook his head.

"...Sorry."

She sighs a bit, sitting down as her tail flicked back and forth a bit.

"What is the last thing you remember, then? What you were saying about Mother and the rest...how can they not remember?"

"The last thing I remember of any of you...was leaving. I was in the Pride Lands, and...Kiara and I were spending time together." Kovu hung his head.

"We were looking up at the stars...and trying to say things that we thought they looked like. She said she used to do that with her father all the time." His breath caught for a second. What he was about to describe to Vitani had to be one of the stupidest things he'd ever said in his life, short of what he'd said when he and Kiara had gone hunting with Simba. "She said that Simba had told her the great kings of the past are up there. I asked if she thought Scar was there with them, but when I looked back at her, I was here instead."

That seems like so long ago. It must have been when they only first started acting on the plan, acting more than just day after day of training. Thinking about then now seemed so...weird. So, Vitani scoffs and rolls her eyes.

"Great kings of the past in the stars? Really, Kovu..." Yeah, she had to admit, that sounded pretty ridiculous to her.

There was a bit of the Vitani he knew. "I wasn't the one who said it, Kiara was," he said in his defense. "And I never said I believed it."

"Either way, it sounds stupid." And she's pretty sure Scar of all lions wouldn't be up there...but she won't mention that part of her thoughts.

"All right, I get the point." Kovu wasn't about to just tell Vitani to shut up about it, but it was something Kiara said...he didn't need his sister repeating that over and over again.

And she drops the subject. It wasn't like she had much interest in it, after all. "I suppose there isn't anything else I need to know?"

She glances around at their surroundings, particularly the people of Paixao walking by.
