The Lion Guard: A Strong Connection

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ndefu Grove.

"How's Basi?" Ono 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.

"Great job, Ono." Fuli 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.

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

Kovu rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

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

Kion nodded.

“I love you, Kovu.” Kion said.

“I love you too.” Kovu said.

He bent his head, and pressed his muzzle against Kion’s cheek.

“Do you want to hunt with me tonight?” He asked.

Kion nodded.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How’s Makini?” Nita asked.

“She is fine.” Rafiki said.
