The Lion Guard: Paternal Love

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ndefu Grove.

“What’s Mari doing today?” Fuli asked.

“She’s with Kora and Nita.” 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." Fuli said.

Meanwhile, Kora had met up with Nita and Marigold inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

“How was the patrol, Daddy?” Nita asked.

“It was fine” Kora answered.

He and Nita watched Mari nestle against him.

“Do you like patrolling, Mari?” Kora asked.

Marigold nodded.

“I love you, Daddy” Mari said.

Kora’s expression softened.

“I love you both very much” Kora said.

He extended a paw, and Nita nestled against him.

“You’ll always be my babies.” Kora said.

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 purred.
