Kovu raised his tail for Xolani to stay in her place. "Your land?" Kovu snarled, stepping forward. "This is outlanders kingdom, my parent's territory." He stepped, signalling the others to stay still. "We shall not battle today, but keep an eye on your territory," he growled, and flick his tail to the direction of the pride rock, as a signal to retreat. Kovu turned around, grabbed Kia by the scruff, and told Kiara to take their patrol back.
