Still Here

[cowardly_hero]

No sign of Kir and Toph. Nothing from Misha or Valerie. Not even a peep from Kovu. Are you guys gone now too? Laharl n' them went their own way so it looks like it's just me n' Pumbaa from now on. Kinda like the good 'ol days, hu?

-I didn't think so either. I miss our dream home. The fresh air, the cool breeze runnin' through my fur... Sitting by the waterfall in my cozy little hammock, Simba... And, of course, the bugs. Can't forget about those, as hard as I'm tryin' to.

This adapting stuff is harder than it looks. There should be an instruction manual or somethin'.

...... You know, you make it sound almost like you miss us or something.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I do not! You're imagining things. -no, wait. I know what's goin' on here... You're tryin' to make it sound like I miss you when you really miss me.

[overlords_wrath]

Tch... Hardly.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Hardly? Nobody hardly misses me. They GREATLY miss me.

[overlords_wrath]

Uh huh... sure... but not me.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Not at all?

[overlords_wrath]

....... Do you?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

How the heck can I miss myself?

[overlords_wrath]

Gah, I mean... .... nevermind. This is stupid anyways.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Stupid? Whaddyeah mean stupid? And what did you mean before?

[overlords_wrath]

I mean, this is a stupid thing to talk about. And... well you don't miss me, so why would I miss you... right?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Uh... Yeah, right.

[overlords_wrath]

Right.

So... people are still disapearing?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Mmm hmm. Toph and- well, you don't know Toph, but her and Kir disappeared right in front of me n' Pumbaa.

[overlords_wrath]

The hell? They just... vanished?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just like Kovu and Misa.

[overlords_wrath]

......and so maybe like Etna must have done the first time...

So, maybe they went back where they came from?

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

How am I supposed to know?

[overlords_wrath]

Tch... You aren't. It was a hypothetical question.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Could of told me...

[overlords_wrath]

Isn't that kind of obvious since obviously neither of us know for sure? Geez...

[4thhighsummoner.livejournal.com]

Hm... I've found that it's best to look forward instead of back: to think about what you're going to do next instead of what you're leaving behind.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I know that. I mean, I already go by Hakuna Matata -which ain't so easy in a place like this- n' it always works.

... Can't help gettin' a little home sick, though.

[4thhighsummoner.livejournal.com]

Hakuna Matata? I guess that means what I said before, am I correct?

And I don't blame you in the slightest. I still sometimes miss the city I came from.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Almost. You don't worry 'bout the future either. Just live for today.

Was it anything like this place?

[4thhighsummoner.livejournal.com]

I see. I suppose you were a step ahead of me in that regard, then.

Like this place? Perhaps only in size. The plants remind me of Macalania Woods, though the flora there was made of crystal and still alive. As for the city itself, I can't say I've seen anything like it.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Me neither. Same goes to all the humans walkin' 'round this place. The plants and buildings, I wonder how they made all. I don't really like them, but they're still kinda neat.

[4thhighsummoner.livejournal.com]

They look like sculptures. It makes me wonder how many artisans they have working on them or keeping them up. I don't see why they can't simply put in some real plants. I've seen restaurants around here, so they must be able to grow something.
