The Lion Guard: Dwala's Affection

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling the Flood Plains.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

"She's fine" Kion said.

He watched Bunga climb onto Fuli's back.

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 think we can end the patrol" Kion said.

He turned, and bounded off.

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

He padded forward, and stretched to nuzzle her cheek.

"Hi Dwala" he said.

Dwala's expression softened.

"Hi Kion." She said.

Kion crawled into her paws, and nestled against her.

"How was the hunt?" He asked.

"It was fine" Dwala answered.

She bent down, and nuzzled Kion's cheek.

"I love you" Dwala said.

"I love you too" Kion purred.

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

She was helping him count juniper berries.

"I'm proud to be your apprentice" Nita said.

Rafiki's expression softened.

"You are a wonderful help" Rafiki said.

Nita leaned over, and nuzzled Rafiki's cheek.

"I love you, Rafiki." She said.

"I love you too" Rafiki answered.
