While Rould spoke, Scar's nails dug even further into the surface of the table while his glare grew fierce enough to the point that - if it was possible - the other patient would have spontaneously gone up into flames. The man's smile along with the tone the unwanted advice was spoken with didn't help anything either; the King was growing increasingly more angry.

So much that he did not realize he was playing right into Rould's hands. Not until much, much later at least. Right now, his anger prevented the former lion to think rationally, ironically enough confirming the other's claims. The infuriating part was that Rould was completely right in every single way. What he heard was the complete but painful truth, even though the King stubbornly refused to admit it even when it slapped him into the face. Instead, he grew angry and denied it.

After all, what would these pathetic humans know of ruling a pride? Those hairless fools knew nothing, and neither would this insolent windbag.

"Like I would even consider taking the advice of a person who claims to know everything about me, while I barely know anything of you for that matter." he growled in response. "I suggest you do not stick your nose where it does not even belong, human."

The last word was said in a most condescending way, actually betraying what he really thought of them and their habits. Of course he could not tell if Rould was one of them, but at this point Scar couldn't care less.
