Nala looked at Osaraka and she bolted after her. “OSARAKA!” She called, trying to catch up to her.

Osaraka just ran. She didn't hear anything, she didn't sense anything. She just ran. Eventually she came across a creek. She tried to jump over it, but landed inside itinstead. She didn't care about that either. She just shook herself, got out, and kept on. Finally, she settled in a tree, breathing heavily.

Nala sighed. There was no use in trying to talk to her now. So, she turned and headed for her cave instead. Pushing her way through the fall grasses, Nala lay herself down in her bed with a sigh.

Osaraka layed down on a tree branch, her mind a spinning mess. "This was not good.", she thought to herself. The feeling, the hate, why was it still there. The hollowness that she had hoped to fill with Simba's death was still there, gaping. It was even larger now, if anything. Osaraka shook her head, as if to get rid of the thoughts. What was done was done. She sighed, then stood up and began on the path back towards Nala. She quickened her pace, and put on an unbothered face. She didn't want to worry Nala, she just wanted to forget.

Nala did get quite a bit of scratches from Kiara from when they had there fight, so she began licking them clean a bit, although each time she went over a new scratch, it stung. Nala winced a bit, and continued to groom her pelt for a few moments longer and then she lay down on her bed and put her head at the edge, heaving a sigh

It had started to darken outside, and the shadows had begun to lengthen, when Osaraka finally returned to where Nala was. She approached her almost nervously. “Hey! Sorry I was gone a while. I didn’t mean to worry you. I just… needed some time to myself.” She laid down beside Nala, lost in thought.

“It’s alright” Nala said looking at her friend. She could tel she was lost in thought, while Nala, Nala was thinking about everything that had happened that day. Kiara was dead. Simba was dead. And Scar was now the ruler over Simbas pride. Was that really a good thing? Nala wondered. Nala sighed. “Osaraka” she said. “Is it really a good thing that Simba and Kiara are dead?” She asked. “What good came from it?”

Osaraka looked at Nala. "That's what I was thinking.", she admitted. "I thought it would feel good, fix everything, but it didn't." She lowered her head. "You think me a very bad person, don't you?"

Nala looked at her friend. "Of course not!" She said. "I think we both could've done better" she admitted. "but something tells me that with the two of them being dead, we can live in peace and be friends" Nala said.

Osaraka nodded. "Yes, maybe so. What were you planning on doing today?"

Nala looked around her cave and then outside. "well, nothing really" she said. "If I didn't have you as a friend, I would probably lay on my cave for some sun, or I'd go for a swim, or I'd try to go for a nice hunt" She said

Osaraka nodded. "Do you climb trees?", she asked.

Nala looked at Osaraka. "I have....once" She said. "Then I never climbed another tree" She said, without any context. When Nala was younger, she and one of her friends were playing a game. Nala had climbed up a tree and her friend had followed her. The two went on a branch together, but the branch happened to be unstable. It snapped, and Nala's friend fell. Her friend died as soon as she hit the ground. That day had traumatized Nala, and she vowed to herself to NEVER climb another tree again.

Osaraka nodded. "Fair.", she said. "I rather enjoy doing it. On the whole, come to think of it, I kind of miss the jungle." SHe started putting her head on her paws, then perked back up. "Do you have any idea as to what Scar is going to do now?", she asked randomly.

Nala was lost in her thoughts, the memory of when her best friend had died was now lingering in her mind. She barley heard when Osaraka spoke, instead of answering, Nala just sat there, and stared at the ground of her cave as the memory replayed....over and over again.
