The Lion Guard: A Father's Fondness

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine." Kion said.

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." Beshte said.

Kion pressed his muzzle against Fuli's cheek.

"I love you." Kion said.

Fuli's expression softened.

"I love you too" Fuli answered.

Meanwhile, Kora had met up with Nita and Marigold inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

"How was the patrol, Daddy?" Nita asked.

"It was fine." Kora answered.

He and Nita watched Mari nestle against him.

"I love you, Daddy." Marigold said.

Kora's expression softened.

"I love you both very much." He said.

Nita pressed herself against his pelt.

"Belee and Kia passed the assessment." She said.

Kora nodded.

"Your mother told me." Kora said.

"I'm really proud of them." Nita said warmly.

"We all are." Kora answered.

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.
