The Lion Guard: An Undeniable Kinship

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"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." Beshte said.

Kion cleared his throat.

“I have to go. Mom wants to see me.” Kion said.

Fuli nodded.

“Have a good time.” Fuli said.

Kion turned, and bounded off.

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

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

“Hi Mom.” Kion said.

Nala’s expression softened.

“Hi Kion.” Nala said.

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

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

Kion nodded.

“How was the hunt?” Kion asked.

“It was fine.” Nala said.

Kion pressed himself against Nala's pelt.

“I love you, Mom.” Kion said.

“I love you too, my darling.” Nala said.

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

She was helping him sort borage leaves.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita answered.
