The Lion Guard: Providing Comfort

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Kilio Valley.

“How's your family, Kion?" Beshte asked.

"Everyone'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.

"Great job, Ono." Bunga said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“I need to go. Zuri wants to spend time with me.” Kion said.

Fuli’s expression softened.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said warmly.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

When he reached Pride Rock, he saw Zuri settled down outside the den.

Kion padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle Zuri’s cheek.

“Hi Zuri.” Kion said.

Zuri’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Zuri said.

Kion glanced behind Zuri.

His expression softened as he caught sight of Mari sleeping in Simba’s nest.

Kion crawled into Zuri’s paws, and nestled against her.

Zuri rubbed a paw against Kion’s cheek.

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

Kion nodded.

“How are you feeling?” Kion asked gently.

Zuri sighed.

“I’m trying, Kion.” Zuri said.

Kion’s expression softened.

“You’re doing fine.” Kion said.

He pressed himself against Zuri’s pelt.

“I love you.” Kion said.

“I love you too, my darling.” Zuri 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.

Simba leaned over, and nuzzled Nala’s cheek.
