Well, it seemed like Scar had hit the jack spot with appointing Tojo as the supervisor of all things food. The lionesses weren't complaining as much, and the false King could again spend time away from Priderock undisturbed... Priderock used to be his quiet sanctuary to where he could flee from the pressures of the world, but with these two little fur balls running about... well, one was never safe there anymore. So Scar's favorite place to chill out was now the Grasslands.
The King lied in his habitual spot, on the warm rock under the leafless tree. A handful hyenas, as always, surrounded him. |

OOC: If this is a closed RP I can delete my post lol)
Shujaa began to grow tired of wrestling with Nuka at home near the bottom of Pride Rock. "Hey I know what we can do!" he said. "Let's go play with Dad! Come on!"

Tojo watched the sun bright over the Pridelands as he reflected on last night with Nala. They had really connected, after he'd told her that she needed to move on from Simba. He was really hopeful about this. Maybe, just maybe, they could start something between them. He hoped that maybe he would be able to fall in love with her, and she him.
But he sighed and glanced around. He was standing near the base of PrideRock, and had been making his way to go see Scar. He needed to tell him which lionesses he had chosen to hunt with him. He had told the lionesses that he would have to be very choosy in his picking, to keep Scar from getting either suspicious or angered. He couldn't risk kindling Scar's anger against either him or the lionesses. Especially Sarabi, whom he had already decided to leave out of the hunt, for her own safety.
He started up PrideRock to the alpha's cave, but as he looked into the deep crevice in the rock he did not see Scar. He did, however, see two young lions, which he knew to be Shujaa and Nuka, Scar's sons. He walked over to them.
"Excuse me," he said to Shujaa. "Do you know where your father is? I need to speak with him."

Shujaa's bright emerald eyes looked up at the tall lion named Tojo. "Nope...We dont even know where he is right Nuka?" he said looking towards his brother.

"Nope, no idea." Nuka says, shaking his head and looking at Tojo.

Tojo looked between the two cubs. He sighed. If ther was anyone who'd know, he thought it would be his own sons. But he guessed they really didn't.
"Well," he suggested. "Is there anyplace he likes to hang out where he might[/i[ be?"
Anything he could get would help. He really didn't want to go wandering around the hot savanna in search of Scar.

Shujaa stood there and thought for a moment. "Let's try the grass! Follow me!" and with that the young prince bolted off towards the grasslands in search of his father.

"Wait for me!" Nuka shouts after his brother, padding after him as fast as his little paws could carry him.

Tojo lauged lightly, ad began to follow the cubs. He remembered when he was that little, playing with Malka, and Chumvi and Kula, and Nala, and then....Simba. He shook Simba out of his mind. He had decided to forget about him. It wasn't good to live in the past.
Picking up his pace, he followed the young cubs, walking fast enough to keep them in sight, but refusing to run in this hot weather.

Shujaa continued to run on ahead through the grass until stopping at the scent of hyenas. Stalking closer he peered out through the grass to see his father lying down. "There he is..." he whispered before backing up and performing a running jump landing on his father. "DADDY!"

Well, won't you look at this? Shuuja had some serious talent... so young he was and yet he managed to fool the hyenas, getting pretty close to Scar without them knowing. Once he grew, he would make a marvelous hunter. But his father's ears noticed the suspicious rustle in the grass, which stopped at an even more suspicious, leap's length away from him. The "DADDY" battle cry he uttered also didn't help.
Scar rolled on his back and caught his son on his giant paws. A great smile was on his tan muzzle, and he chuckled joyfully.
"My my, little Shuuja! Isn't there anything you aren't wonderful at?" He praised him.
But then Nuka appeared in the distance, and upon seeing him, the King's expression became more serious. Putting his son on the rock besides him, he returned to his previous sphinx position.
"Nuka." Scar acknowledged sharply.
Then a third lion appeared in the distance, and this one did not pass the hyenas unnoticed. Many lowered their ears and frowned their brows at Tojo, reminding some other scold the young male had given them, for he had to be very strict with the administration of the food if he wanted to conserve his position on the pride, and the hyenas certainly hadn't liked that. Yet they maintained a respectful distance from him, knowing that his rank had been given, after all, by Scar.
"Tojo... what's the reason for your visit?" Scar asked politely. But inside he was slamming down a fist in regret for not having picked a better place to hide today. Why was it the Pridelanders required him for most every single decision in their lives? After the take over had they forgotten to do normal things like breathing? Did Mufasa really have to go through this... on a daily basis...? |

The young prince began to laugh as Scar held him in the air between his paws but suddenly got slightly confused as to why he was suddenly placed on the rock beside his father. "Daddy! Daddy! Guess what?" he asked excitedly. "The rock wh-where we live is bigger up top!" he said smiling proudly.

Nuka's ears droop as Scar doesn't greet him like he did his brother, he lays down on the ground and rests his head on his paws, listening to the lions talk.

Tojo could feel the eyes of the hyenas on him, but he ignored them. As lone as they stayed away, he wouldn't bother them. The dislike wa mutual. They didn't bother him, and he wouldn't bother them. Unless, he caught them stealing kill. Then they'd get his wrath,
Tojo dipped his head in respect for Scar.
"I just wanted to tell you which lionesses I chose for the hunt,"he said. "So you could veto any, if you don't like them. I chose Nala, Sarafina, Zola, and Nia. Would you be all right with that?"
He had specifically left Sarabi out. For her own safety, and to not raise Scar's suspicions. But he also knew that the ex-Queen would be in danger on a hunt. A hyena, under Scar's direction, could easily get rid of her and Scar would call it an accident. And that was the last thing Tojo wanted to see
