Description
So proud of the lighting.
Drabble for context:
" If the thing that holds you back is your loyalty to me, you should know that I woundn't mind." Queen's voice startled Asma. She was looking at the King's darkening silhouette as it disappeared across savannah.
"What are talking about?" She asked, turning her head towards Nala.
"Him." Her cousin inclines her head to barely visable mirage that Simba has become. " And how You feel about him."
There is no point in arguing with her so Asma just states the obvious.
"He's your mate." A pause. "He's my king"
"He would be hardly the first king to mate with more than one lioness. Mufasa did. Mohatu did. The First King was quite famous for it."
Asma snorts.
"First King's daughters cut his land in three parts because they couldn't stand each other. Mohatu mated with Mampezi long after Gita's death. And even years after Mufasa's gone Sarabi and Lerato still can't stand each other.
"You thought arguments against going to him throught. What about those in favor?" Nala said.
"You mean beside selfishness?"
"Yes, like the fact that there are no other interested and unrelated lionesses in Pridelands. Or that the last cub born here was Lesedi. A year ago. We need more cubs. And I ask you to go to him if only for the sake of the Pride."
"And what if he refuses me?"
"What makes you think I hadn't had this talk with him before I came to you?"
Younger lioness only looks bewildered.
"Go!" Nala encourages."Before he gets away!"
And she did.
