The Lion Guard: Mufasa's Affection

It was a peaceful day in the Serengeti.

Rafiki was currently mixing herbs and murmuring to himself in his tree.

Suddenly, Rafiki heard the sounds of someone approaching his tree.

He chuckled and peered through the branches.

"Hello, Kion" Rafiki called.

"Can I come up, Rafiki?" Kion asked.

Rafiki nodded.

"Of course, Kion" he said.

Kion entered Rafiki's store cave and headed up the slope to the base of tree.

"How are you, Rafiki?" Kion asked.

Rafiki chuckled.

"I'm all right" Rafiki said.

"Can I talk to Grandpa?" Kion asked.

"Yes, Kion" Rafiki said warmly.

Kion glanced up.

"Grandpa, I want to talk to you" Kion called.

He shivered as Mufasa's spirit embraced him.

"Hello, Kion" Mufasa said warmly.

Rafiki stepped back and headed down to his store cave.

"How are you, Grandpa?" Kion asked.

"I'm doing well" Mufasa said.

Kion wandered over to the painting of his parents.

"I'm very proud of you, Kion" Mufasa said.

Kion glanced over his shoulder.

"I miss you, Grandpa" he said.

Mufasa's expression softened.

"I know, Kion" he said gently.

Kion turned around and settled down.

"I love you, Grandpa" Kion said.

He shivered as Mufasa's spirit embraced him.

"I love you, Kion" Mufasa said warmly

"Mari hasn't stopped talking about you" Kion said.

Mufasa chuckled.

"She's such a darling cub" Mufasa said.

Kion glanced up.

"I have to go. Mari wants me to play with her" Kion said.

Mufasa nodded.

"Goodbye, Kion" he said.

Kion turned and bounded out of Rafiki's Tree.
