The Lion Guard: Makini's Love

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"How is Mari?" Rafiki asked.

"She's fine" Nita answered.

She glanced up.

"Someone's coming, Rafiki" Nita said.

Rafiki moved towards a branch, and peered out.

"It is Makini." He said warmly.

Nita's expression brightened.

She moved to stand beside Rafiki, and watched Makini enter the store cave.

"I'm here, Uncle Rafiki!" Makini called.

Nita watched Makini bound forward to embrace Rafiki.

Rafiki pressed his muzzle against Makini's cheek.

"It is wonderful to see you." He said warmly.

"I'm glad Mother let me come" Makini said.

Nita cleared her throat.

"Hi, Makini." She said.

Makini moved forward to embrace Nita.

"I was hoping you'd be here too." Makini said.

"How's Mosi?" Nita asked.

"He's fine" Makini answered.

She turned to Rafiki.

"What are you two doing?" She asked.

"We're sorting herbs." Nita said.

Makini nodded.

She pressed her muzzle against Rafiki's cheek.

"I love you, Uncle Rafiki." Makini said.

"I love you too." Rafiki said.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"Grandpa watched our training" Kia said.

"What'd he think?" Kenai asked.

"I think he's impressed" Kia answered.

Bemba's expression softened.

"You both have leaned so much." Bemba said.
