The Lion Guard: A Granduncle's Confidence

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ukuni Woods.

"What's Mari doing today?" Fuli asked.

"She's with Dad and Nita." Kion 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." Bunga said.

Kion pressed his muzzle against Fuli's cheek.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too" Fuli answered.

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

They were settled down amongst the moss.

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

"It was fine." Simba answered.

He and Nita watched Mari nestle against him.

"I love you, Papa." Marigold said.

Simba's expression softened.

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

Nita pressed herself against Simba's pelt.

"I need to ask you something." Nita said.

"What is it?" Simba prompted.

"Do you still have confidence in me?" Nita asked.

Simba nodded.

"I always have, and I always will." He said.

"What about me?" Mari asked.

Simba chuckled.

"I have confidence in you too." Simba said.

Meanwhile, Kenai and Kia had met up with Bemba at the Meadow.

They were settled down underneath the baobab tree.

"How was the hunt?" Kenai asked.

"It was fine." Bemba answered.
