The Lion Guard: An Excellent Bond

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Kilio Valley.

"How's Ameba?" Beshte asked.

"She's fine." Fuli 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.

Kion glanced at Fuli.

“Do you want to visit Mari?” He asked.

Fuli nodded.

They bade goodbye to their friends, and headed towards Pride Rock.

When they arrived, Mari rushed to greet them.

“Hi!” Marigold said brightly.

Fuli’s expression softened.

She knelt down, and nuzzled Mari’s cheek.

“Hi Mari.” Fuli said.

Kion moved forward, and knelt to nuzzle Mari’s cheek.

“Are you having a good day?” He asked.

Marigold nodded.

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 moved over, and nestled against him.

“I love you.” Nita said.

Rafiki’s expression softened.

“I love you too, my darling.” Rafiki said.

He pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.

“Dalila told me that Rasha was attacked.” Rafiki said.

“Is she okay?” Nita asked.

Rafiki nodded.
