Sarafina sighed as she ambled her way back into the pridelands. She came in from behind the territory so that she was close to Pride Rock. She knew this wouldn't go well - she knew Scar well enough to know it would take some convincing for her to be here. She was given strict orders from her queen, her best friend. She was to be here, as a 'loyal follower' of Scart's so that she could keep an eye on things, so she could be on the inside. No one would believe that Serabi would betray her mate, so it was up to Sarafina. She had been able to fool the hyenas, as she was slower than Serabi and even her daughter, Nala, so it looked as if she was chasing them anyway. The hyenas believed it, so maybe she could fool Scar as well.
At the beginning of the king's domain on Pride Rock, Sarafina sat down, making sure not to have her head higher than the new king's. She too a deep breath, her cold, wet fur nearly making her shiver in the process, along with fear, she spoke just loudly enough so that Scar would hear her.
"My king, please, you must forgive me. It isn't what it looked like. I was trying to get the others to come back instead of betraying you, their king. Please hear my words." Sarafina bowed her head while she spoke to show respect to Scar. She feared these would be her final words. She feared for her daughter, afraid she would never see her again.

Hee hee hee hee hee...
The only response to the lioness' call was the cackling of hyenas; their haunting voices growing louder and louder as they came closer. Sarafina had moved through the territory rather quickly; the news of her return, and her daring excuses had not yet reached the Matriarch's ear.
The muscular figure of Shenzi and her loyal two appeared besides a gnarly tree from where they could see Sarafina. Just her luck, though, this time it was no mere grunt that came to question her, but it was the great Trio.
"My, my, my..." The Matriarch began, her tone mocking and dangerous; "What do we have here?"
Defiantly, she strode towards the lioness to be face-to-face with her. |

((Hope you don't mind that I use this thread as a way to get myself back in))
From a distance behind the trio of hyenas a familiar male hyena sits, raising his brow as he sees the lioness stroll forward. Except this time, the lioness sounded more like a traitor than an ally. This hyena's undieing loyalty to King Scar mean't he'd never think of betraying the great lion. After a few more seconds he stands and strolls forth, bringing himself to the light and revealing himself. "Best explain yourself for this intrusion." The male says in a commanding voice...the one that belonged to Bendari himself.

Scar had indeed heard the words of Sarafina and a bit of interest perked through him. He had carried a fancy for the pale lioness in the far past and while he was more inclined to Zira he certainly would revel in having Sarafina under his paw. The heyna's had surrounded her and a bit of irritation swept through Scar. She should be explaining to him, not the heyna's. He strolled forward himself, his fur had been freshly groomed by Zira's rough tongue and he let out a dramatic sigh. "Well, well, if it isn't Sarafina" His words were drawn out as if he was bored already. "Your bold to be coming back here after you ran off with the traitors." His cold green eyes stared the slim lioness down and he was sure the heyna's would pressure her into telling the truth.
He sat down and looked at his paw, inspecting his sharpened claws. "You say that you wanted to bring them back, but for some reason I don't think you wanted that at all" He raised an eyebrow and looked at the lioness, waiting for her excuse.

Sarafina gulped silently in fear whilst her head was still bowed down to her new king. She tried to ignore the hyenas as she tried to think quickly and clearly what her response would be, for she knew this was her only chance to make it out alive. If she could just get Scar to believe her, she would be set and she could act attracted to him yet again, even though she only felt disgust towards him anymore after he had let the hyenas take over. This was, after all, Pride Rock, a place for lions to rule the dominion.
"My king," Sarafina barely managed to let the words escape her tongue. The pause thereafter seemed like an eternity, and during the break between her words she felt tears start to drop from her eyes. With a shaky voice and a shiver, she continued slowly, "My daughter... why... why would I want my daughter to leave, sire? She is... all I have, I did not wish to lose her. Please forgive me for running off. As I said, your majesty, it is not what it looked like. Nala is grown now, though, and she must learn on her own, it looks like."
Sarafina raised her head half way, slowly, so that Scar could see the pain in her eyes from not being with her daughter, and for that matter, her best friend. She hoped that this would be enough to satisfy the king. It was all she could muster.

Her excuses was slow to come. If it wasn’t Sarafina, maybe he would have never lost his time with this scene and just applied the royal punishment. He posed his paw on the ground, looking into Sarafina’s eye as she looked devastated. « It is strange she didn’t listen to you, her mother. » He got up and moved forward the pale lioness. He looked like he was considering her words. He was slowly turning around her. « They ran off, do you know what it mean? » That they would not be allowed to came back again, that they would be considered like deserters. He stopped his walk in front of her. « Knowing that, why didn’t you stay with your daughter? » |

Sarafina fought hard to keep herself from going hysterical. She missed her daughter already, but that would change soon enough. She'd gone to find help, and Sarafina had faith in her daughter to return with a life changing event following.
For now, though, she must remain inconspicuous, and act as though she were truly faithful to Scar.
With a great heaving and breaking voice, she responded to the new king, "I love my daughter, but this is my home, your majesty. Nala must find her own way in her life. I wish the best for her yet, never will I wish death upon her, but this is my home, and I will stay and serve my king, your majesty Scar." She had to pause a couple of times in between her speech to Scar to swallow the lump in her throat. She kept her head partially bowed the entire time, trying to show as much respect to him as much as possible, to make herself more believable. All she had left now was hope.
