The Lion Guard: Mosi’s Affection

It was a peaceful 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.

"Thanks, Ono." Bunga said.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How is your family?” Rafiki asked.

“Everyone’s fine.” Nita answered.

Nita glanced up.

"Someone's coming, Rafiki." Nita said.

Rafiki moved towards a branch, and peered out.

"It is Karibu and Mosi." He said.

Nita's expression softened.

She moved to stand beside Rafiki, and watched Karibu and Mosi enter the store cave.

“Hi!” Mosi called.

He slid down from Karibu’s back, and bounded over to Rafiki.

“Hello, Mosi” Rafiki said warmly.

He pressed a palm against Mosi’s cheek.

Mosi glanced at Nita.

“Hi Nita.” Mosi said.

Nita’s expression softened.

“Hi Mosi.” She said.

Mosi moved over, and embraced Nita.

“Hi Karibu.” Nita said.

“Hello, Nita.” Karibu said warmly.

Karibu cleared her throat.

“Jelani and Dalila want Mosi home by sundown.” Karibu said.

Rafiki nodded.

“Thank you, Karibu.” Rafiki said.

“Have fun, Mosi.” Karibu said warmly.

“I will.” Mosi said.

Nita gently nudged Mosi towards Karibu.

“Say goodbye to your grandmother.” Nita said.

Mosi pressed himself against Karibu’s side.

“I love you, Grandma.” Mosi said.

“I love you too, sweetheart.” Karibu said.

She pressed a palm against Mosi’s cheek.

“Tell Jelani, Dalila, and Makini I said hello.” Nita said.

“I will.” Karibu said.

Karibu turned, and bounded down the slope.

Mosi pressed himself against Rafiki’s side.

“I’m so glad Mother let me come.” Mosi said.

Rafiki pressed a palm against Mosi’s cheek.

“I am very pleased to see you” Rafiki said.

"I really love you both." Mosi said.

Rafiki’s expression softened.

"I love you too." Rafiki answered.

Nita nodded in agreement.

“What are you two doing?” Mosi asked.

“We’re just sorting herbs.” Nita answered.

“How are your siblings, Mosi?” Rafiki asked.

“They’re fine.” Mosi said.

He glanced at Nita.

“Can you come visit Makini soon?” He asked.

Nita nodded.

“Of course I can.” She said.

She rubbed a paw against Mosi’s cheek.
