The Lion Guard: Paternal Kindness

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

Kion and his friends were patrolling Chakula Plains.

"How's Maple?" Beshte asked.

"She's fine." Fuli answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back.

"It's all clear." Ono said.

"Great job, Ono." Kion said.

Meanwhile, Simba and Kiara had met up inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

“How was the hunt?” Simba asked.

“It was fine.” Kiara said..

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba’s cheek.

“I love you, Daddy.” Kiara said.

Simba’s expression softened.

“I love you too.” Simba said.

He extended a paw, and Kiara nestled against him.

“Would you like to hunt together tonight?” He asked.

Kiara nodded.

She leaned her head against Simba’s shoulder.

“You’ll always be my baby.” Simba said quietly.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita said.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Rafiki’s cheek.
