[there's a shrill, babbling voice of a worried mother meerkat cutting across the board]

I knew it, I knew it - why did I give him so much space? Why did I keep my mouth shut? It seemed something good to try at the time but but - he's gone! He's been gone for so long and he hasn't come back and he always came back except now! He's not coming back this time, I just know it. And I don't even know where he went... Timon, all alone out in this frightening jungle!

[long, quiet, jittery pause... and then a hitched sob]

He's dead. My little Timmy is... is dead!

[because Ma totally has all the evidence for this. yep.]

I don't have a tail!

[she totally does at the moment; no, her picture is not available]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

It's an expression. Sheesh.

[Voice]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Argh, whatever! When I get back from the Pride Lands, you and I are gonna have a talk whether you like it or not.

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

[Gulp.]

Pride Lands?

[Voice]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We're not gonna find the way out of here without looking for the next door, you know. Why?

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Uh. No reason.

[Voice]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Are you ever gonna stop trying to hide things from me?

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Who says I'm hiding anything?

[Voice]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

...just stop your mom from freaking everyone else out, okay?

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

She's not my mom! She's, uh, an aunt.

[Voice]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

You've been calling her Ma all over this thing and she's been calling you her son. I think the secret's out.

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I knew I should of taken her journal.

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

If you want to make sure she stays safe, don't do stupid things like leave without saying anything.

[Voice][Private]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Not you too now.

[Voice][Private]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

You think I don't know why you wanted it stay hidden that she's your mother? The Organization likes to use the people we care about to manipulate us. But they know now, they probably always knew and now it's up to you to make sure she doesn't get hurt.

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the reminder.

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

...you'll be fine. You have a lot of people on your side, Timon. All you have to do is let them help you.

[Voice][Private]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I'll think about it.

[Voice][Private]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

[good enough.] Thanks.
