[color=DarkOrange]Scar - Present Day - The Pride Lands[/color][/h1][/center]

[color=DarkOrange]There was an overwhelming aroma of fermented grapes and perfume filling the small room that Scar spent most of his time in for relaxation. Lounging back in the plush red settee he turned his head slightly to let his eyes dark eyes to flicker over to the half-naked woman reapplying a generous amount of oils to her hands. With a sweeping gesture of his hand he motioned for the girl to come back to him, relaxing his neck back against the settee, hanging over the lip a bit as his head was up slightly higher than the height of it's back.

Head tossed back and body sinking into the plush cushions below him, a gravely sound came from Scar's throat as he felt the servant running her oiled hands on his bare chest and shoulders making his already tanned skin shine. With his eyes closed, the hands of a woman running over his bare skin, the King couldn't help but to chuckle at his good fortune. He had absolutely everything he could ever want. Power, women, riches galore... and a particular pleasing memory of watching his brother's life being drained from his eyes as Scar slipped a blade between his ribs.

“Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word."

Raising his head back up to rest properly on his shoulders, Scar motioned over another woman to bring him a goblet of wine before continuing on in his recite, talking to no one in particular but feeling the need to fill the empty air around them with something.

"The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a [i]sword[/i]!
Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old."

His dark eyes happened over to a second slave girl, a knowing smile flickering across his lips as she refused to make eye contact with him. He kept his eyes on the woman, hearing the sound of his wine being poured into a goblet which was then handed to him, and he took it respectfully, now speaking directly to her.

"Some strangle with the hands of Lust,
Some with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a [i]knife[/i], because
The dead so soon grow [i]cold[/i]."

The slave girl who Scar had his eyes on fidgeted on her feet, the thin scrap of silk he had all his slave girls wearing slipping down over her chest a bit but she freed a hand from the tray she was holding to cover herself back up, going out of her way to keep her eyes away from him.

"Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell, and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh.
For each man [i]kills[/i] the thing he loves,
Yet each man [i]does. Not. Die![/i]"

His eyes narrowed on the slave girl, for a moment, before his smile returned causing his face to lighten as if his own words were bringing him pleasure.

"Long. Live. [i]The King![/i]" He shouted in a cheer, raising his goblet into the air as a sort of toast to himself. He then brought the goblet of wine to his lips, his leg swinging from the settee below him and let out a graveled laugh, draining the goblet of it's contents and catching the eye of the slave girl as he did so. She was a thin woman, forced into Scar's particular taste of what a woman should look like, bound by shackles at her ankles and holding a tray of assorted fruits for his consumption should he ever need it. Her jaw was set firmly, the hands holding onto the tray shaking as her grip tightened and the moment she made eye contact with Scar, she jerked her head and looked the other way.

"Oh Sarabi, [i]do[/i] lighten up!" Scar lulled, rolling his thick neck around on his shoulders with his eyes rolling, as if all hope had been lost and the mood entirely ruined.

"Not while you still stand where he once stood." Sarabi replied, keeping her head to the side to give him her profile. Scar  in turn sat up on the settee, practically throwing his massive body off of it and lunging at at her, closing the distance between them with just a few powerful strides. Sarabi flinched, but held her own as Scar snatched a pear from the tray of fruit she was holding. Keeping his eyes on her, his head a mere three inches away from hers, he bit into the flesh of the fruit, feeling the juices gush from his mouth and trickled down, getting caught up in the stubble of his chin. His stare was piercing, and the longer he did so, the more she began to shake but not of fear; but of raw anger.

Sarabi had always proven to be the more difficult of his servants. It might of had to do with the fact that she was Mufasa's wife before he had brought an end to his brother, but Scar couldn't be entirely sure... nor did he really care. There was something... overall satisfying of forcing the wife of his brother into submitting to his each and every desire. With his opposite hand, Scar reached out and traced his fingers over her prominent jaw line, of which Sarabi immediately jerked her head away from his touch, causing Scar to smirk with a mouth half-full of pear.

"Oh Captain?" Scar called out, his voice somewhat sing-songy; not at all matching the intensity of the look he had on his face then. The Guard Captain guarding the doors of the room stepped forward, pressing a fist to his chest and bowed respectfully.

"My King?" He asked politely.

Scar took a moment or two to chew over the bite of pear he had in his mouth before speaking again, feeling Sarabi's bravado wearing off the longer he did so.

"To my bed chambers, I think." Scar replied before taking his gaze away from Sarabi and to his Guard Captain, holding up a finger on the hand that was still holding onto the pear. "And make sure the shackles are nice and tight this time. I do so tire of disposing of those who have potential, but as we know, mistakes are not tolerated here..."

"Sir!" The Guard Captain nodded, bowing again before motioning with his hand. Two other stationed guards jumped to attention and walked to Sarabi, one using a key to release the shackles at her feet while the other did away with the fruit tray she was holding and began to bind her arms together.

"You may have my body Scar, but it will not be me! IT WILL NOT BE ME!" Sarabi said, a fire lighting in her eyes as she struggled against the two men that were now dragging her away. "YOU WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO MUFASA!" She called out as they dragged her into the hall, slamming the doors shut behind them causing her last words and the sound of the doors to echo all around them.

Anger suddenly fueled his blood then as his hand balled up into a tight fist, crushing the pear in his grasp into a sticky mess of juice all over his hand. He let out a cry of anger, going over to the remaining servant woman and knocked the tray from her hands, spilling the cut bread and cheeses all over the floor with the metal platter hitting the stone floor adding to the noise of the room. Gruffing in annoyance, Scar walked over to the settee and threw himself down onto it in a sitting position, throwing his arms back to rest on the lip of the back. Immediately, he caught the eye of a soldier staring back at him.

"YOU!" Scar barked, startling the soldier into looking away from him lest he be punished.

"Y-yes my K-King?" The soldier stuttered.

"The new arrivals, they are here, correct?" Scar asked, his temper already seeming to simmer.

"Y-yes my King. N-not too long ago in f-fact." The soldier acknowledged. 

"Well?" Scar asked after a long pause, but the soldier only looked back at him, confused. "GO AND GET THEM!" The soldier startled himself into attention, failing in a clumsy bow and hurried off down the hall to fetch the girls who had just been brought in today.

Moving his hand up to pinch the bridge of his nose, Scar let his eyes close and exhaled through his nose. He'd deal with Sarabi later. For now, he had the perilous task of sorting through the women to decide if they became slave, or entertainer.

Ah well, such is the life of a King...[/color]
