Simba frowned at Timon's words, wincing from the added pain of having the meerkat climb through his mane and aggravate his injuries. He kept quiet though. It took too much energy to talk back at the moment.

Simba felt Kiara's paw and he gave her a reassuring smile before closing his eyes. He wanted to go to sleep, but for the moment he fought it off, just listening to Timon and Kiara. He honestly wasn't worried about Kovu at the moment, though he did make a mental note to thank him later.
