The Lion Guard: Heartwarming Empathy

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Ndefu Grove.

“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 pressed his muzzle against Fuli's cheek.

"I love you." Kion said quietly.

Fuli's expression softened.

"I love you too." Fuli answered.

Meanwhile, Kiara had met up with Zuri and Marigold inside the den.

They were settled down amongst the moss.

“How was the hunt?” Zuri asked.

“It was fine.” Kiara said.

She watched Mari nestle against Zuri’s pelt.

“How are you feeling today?” Kiara asked gently.

Zuri sighed, and glanced down at her paws.

“I miss him so much.” Zuri said.

Kiara’s expression softened.

“I miss him too.” Kiara said.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Zuri’s cheek.

“It’s really not fair, Kiara.” Zuri said.

“I know it isn’t.” Kiara 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.
