"You're... Leaving?" Kiara's lower lip trembled, and she desperately searched Kovu's face for a reason why.

After all the time they had spent together, and everything they had taught each other, Kovu had suddenly decided that he was leaving the Pridelands.

"I uh... Got some things I gotta work out," Kovu said, avoiding Kiara's eyes. "I feel like... Like I don't know myself."

"Are you sure I can't come with you?"

"Look, I'm real sorry, but," Kovu huffed, "This is something I need to do alone."

Kiara drew her head back, raising an eyebrow with confusion. "Alone with Kion?"

"It's not what—" Kovu stammered, his mouth hanging open for half a moment, before he attempted a recovery, "I mean, he's just..." He furrowed his eyebrows and shrugged, "He's already been to the Tree of Life, so, y'know, I thought it'd be a good idea for him to come with me," he claimed, turning his head away from Kiara.

"Oh." Kiara cleared her throat and pursed her lips together before tilting her head and raising her eyebrows, skeptically, "I suppose that makes sense.

"I'll really miss you, Kovu."

"Yeah, me too," Kovu said, nuzzling Kiara close before they said their goodbyes. It wasn't a lie, but he knew he wouldn't miss Kiara the same way she would miss him.
