The Lion Guard: A Brother's Support

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"How's Basi?" Bunga asked.

"He's fine." Beshte 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.

"Thanks, Ono." Bunga said.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I have to go. Kovu wants to see me." Kion said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time." She said warmly.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

When he reached Pride Rock, he saw Kovu settled down outside the den.

He padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kovu's cheek.

"Hi Kovu." Kion said.

Kovu's expression softened.

"Hi Kion." He said.

Kion crawled into Kovu's paws, and nestled against him.

"How was your patrol?" Kovu asked.

"It was fine." Kion answered.

He pressed himself against Kovu's pelt.

"I want to ask you something." Kion said.

"What is it?" Kovu prompted.

"Do I still have your support?" Kion asked.

Kovu nodded.

"You always will." He said.

"I love you." Kion said.

Kovu rubbed a paw against Kion's cheek.

"I love you too." Kovu answered.

“Can we hunt together tonight?” Kion asked.

Kovu nodded.

“Of course we can.” He said warmly.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita said.
