This Is The Moment

Description

"Brother...? You are dead, aren't you...?"

Inspired by the song 'This Is the Moment' from the musical of Jekyll and Hyde.

After he sends the hyenas after Simba, we don't see Scar again until well after nightfall. As we know, it wouldn't have taken him much time at all to head back to Pride Rock to share the bad news... so what do you suppose he was doing all that time?

I think that buried under his triumph, Scar felt a little bit of apprehension and regret about what he had done. There could be no going back.

Yeah, but when you see Simba running into the distance after escaping the Hyenas, the sun was already pretty low in the sky - the gorge may very well have been a fair walk from Pride Rock. Plus, he had the whole army of Hyenas behind him while he was telling the news, maybe he spent the time after Simba's exile rallying them up to invade the Pridelands.
I dunno, Scar seemed to maliciously enjoy and savor every minute of this murder - from its planning, its (literal) execution, and reaping the benefits afterwards. I sincerely doubt he had any regret at all. 
I do love the picture though, not trying to crap all over it - just offering a slight rebuttal to your description.
