The Lion Guard: Simba and Nala’s Sympathy

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna 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.

"Great job, Ono." Beshte said.

Fuli pressed her muzzle against Kion's cheek.

"I love you." Fuli said quietly.

Kion's expression softened.

"I love you too." Kion answered.

Meanwhile, Zuri had met up with Simba and Nala inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

“How was the hunt, Nala?” Zuri asked.

“It was fine.” Nala answered.

She and Simba watched Zuri sigh, and glance down at her paws.

“How are you feeling today?” Simba asked.

“It’s really hard. I miss him so much.” Zuri said.

Nala’s expression softened.

“We miss him too.” Nala said.

“He was a good cub” Simba said.

He leaned over, and nuzzled Zuri’s cheek.

“We’re very proud of you, Zuri.” Simba said.

Simba extended a paw, and Zuri nestled against him.

“I love you both.” Zuri said.

“We love you too, my darling.” Nala said gently.

Simba’s expression softened.

“We always will.” Simba said.

Nala leaned over, and nuzzled Zuri’s cheek.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How’s Makini?” Nita asked.

“She is fine.” Rafiki said.

He pressed a palm against Nita’s cheek.

“Papa and Nana are with Zuri today.” Nita said.

Rafiki nodded.
