The Lion Guard: A Deep Affection

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Chakula Plains.

"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.

"Thanks, Ono." Kion said.

Meanwhile, Kovu and Kiara had met up inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"How was the hunt?" Kovu asked.

"It was fine." Kiara answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Kovu's cheek.

"I love you." Kiara said.

Kovu's expression softened.

"I love you too" Kovu said.

He extended a paw, and Kiara nestled against him.

"Will you join the evening hunt?" Kiara asked.

Kovu nodded.

"I would be happy too." He answered.

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

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Nala answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Simba's cheek.

"I love you." Nala said.

"I love you too." Simba answered.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

"How's Makini?" Nita asked.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"She is fine. She wishes to visit you." He said.

Nita's expression brightened.

"I haven't seen her in sunrises." She said.
