The Lion Guard: Sibling Affection

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Ukuni Woods.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine. She keeps asking Mom about hunting" Kion said.

He 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 reported.

Kion nodded.

He exchanged a glance with Fuli.

"I have to go, Kiara wants me to spend time with her" he said.

Fuli nodded.

"Give Mari my love" she said warmly.

"I will" Kion said.

He bade goodbye to Beshte, Bunga, and Ono, and bounded off.

When he reached the Meadow, Kion found Kiara settled underneath the baobab tree.

He padded up, and stretched his neck to nuzzle her cheek.

"How was your patrol?" Kiara asked.

"It was fine" Kion answered.

"I've been with Matembo" Kiara said.

She watched Kion crawl into her paws, and nestle against her.

"How is she?" Kion asked.

"She's fine. She sends her love" Kiara replied.

She bent her head, and nuzzled Kion's cheek.

"I love you" Kion murmured.

"I love you" Kiara said.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at Ndefu Grove.

They were settled underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kia asked.

"Fine" Bemba answered.

Kenai and Kia exchanged a glance.

"Do you like Mari?" Kenai asked.

Bemba nodded.

"She is a precious cub. I'm glad to be included in her life" she said warmly.

"We are too" Kia said.

She reached up, and nuzzled Bemba's cheek.

Meanwhile, Clea had ventured to Nita and Mari's cave to spend time with them.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"I love you, Aunt Clea" Mari said sleepily.

"I love you, Mari" Clea answered.

She watched Nita rub her muzzle against Mari's.

"How's Rafiki, Nita?" Clea asked.

"He's fine" Nita answered.

Mari mewled and nestled into Clea's pelt.

"I'm tired, Aunt Clea" she said sleepily.

"You can sleep" Clea said.

Meanwhile, Simba and Nala had met up at Ndefu Grove.

They were settled underneath a baobab tree.

"Kion told me he wants to give a speech at Kupatana" Simba said.

"Will you let him?" Nala asked.

Simba nodded.

"Kiara gave the royal contribution last season." He said.

He watched Nala nestle closer to him.

"Are you okay?" He asked gently.

Nala nodded.

"I'm just tired" she said.

Simba leaned over, and nuzzled her cheek.

"Darling, you can sleep." He murmured.

He reached out a paw, and pulled Nala closer to him.
