The Lion Guard: Chumvi's Love

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Nyani Grove.

"How's Ma?" Beshte asked.

"Grandma's fine." Bunga 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 warmly.

Meanwhile, Chumvi and Zuri had met up inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"Thanks for staying with me, Dad." Zuri said.

Chumvi's expression softened.

"You're more important to me." He said.

"Really?" Zuri asked.

Chumvi nodded.

"Simba understands that." He said.

Zuri moved closer, and leaned her head against Chumvi's shoulder.

"I love you." Zuri said.

Chumvi's expression softened.

"I love you too. I'm proud of you." He said.

"Thanks, Dad." Zuri answered.

Chumvi rubbed a paw against Zuri's cheek.

"I know this isn't easy." He said gently.

"You and Mom are doing it better." Zuri said.

"We still miss him." Chumvi said.

Zuri pressed herself against Chumvi's pelt.

"I'm glad that I have you and Mom." Zuri said.

"We're glad to have you." Chumvi answered.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"Chumvi didn't join the patrol." Simba said.

"Is he with Zuri?" Nala asked.

Simba nodded.

"I'm glad she's doing better." He said warmly.

Nala nodded.

"I am too." She answered.
