The Lion Guard: Parental Affection

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"How's Basi?" Kion 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." Bunga said.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I have to meet up with my parents." He said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time." She said.

Kion pressed his muzzle against her cheek.

He turned, and bounded off.

When he reached Pride Rock, he saw Simba and Nala settled down outside the den.

"Hi." Kion said.

Simba and Nala glanced up.

"Hi Kion." Simba said.

"How was your patrol?" Nala asked.

"It was fine." Kion answered.

He crawled into Simba's paws, and nestled against him.

"Can I join the evening hunt?" Kion asked.

Nala nodded.

"Of course you can." She said warmly.

"I'll join it as well." Simba said.

Kion pressed himself against Simba's pelt.

"I love you both." He said.

Simba's expression softened.

"We love you too" Simba said.

"We always will." Nala added.

She leaned down, and nuzzled Kion's cheek.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.

"I caught a galago." Kia said.

"That's wonderful." Kenai said.
