The Lion Guard: Diku’s Devotion

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

“How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion 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." Beshte said.

Kion pressed his muzzle against Fuli's cheek.

"I love you." He said quietly.

Fuli's expression softened.

"I love you too." She answered.

Meanwhile, Simba and Diku had met up inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

“How was the hunt, Diku?” Simba asked.

“It was fine.” Diku said.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba’s cheek.

“I don’t know if I’ve thanked you.” Simba said.

“For what, my darling?” Diku said.

“For the devotion you’ve shown me since my accession.” Simba said.

Diku’s expression softened.

“You don’t have to thank me.” Diku said.

“I love you, Diku.” Simba said.

“I love you too, sweetheart.” Diku said warmly.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How is your family?” Rafiki asked.

“Everyone’s fine.” Nita answered.

Nita moved closer, and nestled against Rafiki’s pelt.

“I love you.” Nita said.

Rafiki’s expression softened.

“I love you too, darling.” Rafiki said.
