The Lion Guard: Expressing Kindness

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ndefu Grove.

"How's Basi?" Fuli 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." Fuli said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“I need to go. Kovu wants to see me.” Kion said.

Fuli nodded.

“Have a good time.” She 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.” He said.

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

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

Kion nodded.

He pressed himself against Kovu’s pelt.

“I love you.” Kion said.

Kovu rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

“I love you too.” He said.

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

“You’ve grown up so much.” Kovu 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.
