The Lion Guard: Fatherly Pride

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

Kion and Simba were spending time together at The Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"I love you, Kion. I'm so proud of you" Simba said warmly.

Kion stretched his neck to nuzzle Simba's cheek.

"I love you Dad, I never want to disappoint you" he said.

Simba's expression softened.

"You never have, Kion" he said gently.

"Can we go home?" Kion asked.

Simba nodded.

He stood up, and bent to grasp Kion's scuff.

"I'm too old for this" Kion said grumpily.

"You still let Kiara do it" Simba pointed out.

He began to head back to Pride Rock.

Meanwhile, Sarabi had ventured to Mari's cave to spend time with her.

They were settled amongst the moss.

"Were you ever a princess?" Mari asked.

Sarabi nodded.

"I met Grandpa Mufasa during the reign of his father. Yeh-Yeh abdicated shortly after Papa's birth" Sarabi explained.

"Wow" Mari murmured.

Sarabi leaned down, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.
