Sam was frustrated.
It was the day after encountering Clayton, and it was all fresh in his mind. The man had been so adamant that he belonged with the humans - and for what? What did humanity ever do for him? They’d used and abused him. David being the only person that ever showed him real kindness and he was gone.
In the Pridelands, he’d found a family, a group that actually cared about, and loved him… So what if they were animals?
He’d made up his mind he was never going back and that was that.
The young Prince let all this settle in his mind as he sat outside the den early that morning. Wishing that Simba or Nala were there at the moment to offer some advice. But for the moment all he could do was stick close to the rest of the family. In hopes they wouldn’t give him up without a fight.
“I don’t care if I have to spend the rest of my life in the cave. I’m not going.” He muttered.

Sam nearly jumped out of his skin.
How was it that Sarabi always seemed to just… Know? On one hand, Sam felt like she was some sort of superhero in that way. But on the other hand, maybe she was just a good listener. Either way, he turned to the elder… To his grandmother, he reminded himself and sighed a little.
On one hand, he could have closed off from it easily - but on the other hand. He reminded himself, he had family now, he didn’t have to face this alone.
“Yeah, I’m worrying again. I don’t know… I had kind of hoped that the adults were never gonna show up. Everything was perfect before they did,” Sam admitted honestly. Voice cracking a little. “… I know I always said I didn’t care if I was ever adopted. But when dad told me I was family now… When I found out I was finally someone’s son… It made me so happy. I’d become so close with you guys now, it just felt right.”
He felt his voice crumble a little. And he stared down as he spoke up again. “Now they’re going to try to take me away. Make me go back with them,” Sam explained. “Clayton already thought I had a head injury and wanted me to go with him. But I don’t want to go with them. I want to stay here.”
It was clear that Sam was used to having his life uprooted. And even if no one was full-on threatening taking him… Well, the idea loomed over his head long enough to scare him. “Back home, people hit me.. My mom hit me - she hated me. Now I finally found parents who actually love me - and it’s not right that I might have to fight for that.” He added with a huff.

Of course she was making a point.
Hell, would he have even thought when he first got here he’d stay? That he’d be calling a lion father or mother? Heck, Simba had wanted him gone when he first got here and Sam had been eager to get back home. But still, as adults they had more power and sway - and they were more stubborn too.
Taking a deep breath, he leaned back at Sarabi’s words. “I guess. I just wish adults did it faster. Even adults here get over stuff faster, human adults are stubborn,” he admitted. Though he didn’t know it was age that made it easier. He had a feeling. “Not that I was perfect, I know. When I met dad I thought he was going to have me for lunch.”
He snorted a bit as he said it. Though he also hadn’t considered the state of their world either. Back home after all, was a mess. Though he had to admit one fear remained. “Grandma can I ask you a question? Like an honest one?” He asked, knowing it was probably the thing that ate away at him most. “… You don’t think mom and dad would give me to them, do you?”
Though he’d reminded himself several times about Simba’s words about love and not being just about blood.. Those voices of how he’d just not been worth it always invaded him too - from many voices in his past.
