The Lion Guard: A Brother’s Support

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling the Flood Plains.

"How's Basi?" Fuli 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." Beshte said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“I have to go. Kovu wants to see me.” Kion said.

Fuli nodded.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

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

Kion padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Kovu’s cheek.

“Hi Kovu.” Kion said.

Kovu’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Kovu said warmly.

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

“Did you have a good patrol?” Kovu asked.

Kion nodded.

“I need to ask you something.” Kion said.

“What is it?” Kovu prompted.

Kion pressed himself against Kovu’s pelt.

“Do I still have your support?” Kion asked.

Kovu rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“You always have, and you always will.” He said.

“I love you, Kovu.” Kion said.

“I love you too.” Kovu said.

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.

She moved closer, and nestled against Rafiki’s side.

“I love you.” Nita said.

Rafiki’s expression softened.

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