The Lion Guard: Clea's Affection

It was a peaceful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was doing a patrol in Hapuna Valley.

"How's Mari?" Fuli asked.

Kion's expression softened.

"She wants you to visit her" he said warmly.

"There's nothing else I'd rather do" Fuli answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back.

"Everything's all clear" he said.

Kion nodded.

"Let's go to the Lair" he suggested.

He led his friends to Pride Rock.

When they reached Pride Rock, Mari rushed out to greet them.

Kion chuckled as Mari bowled Fuli over.

Fuli's expression softened as she stood up, and rubbed a paw against Mari's cheek.

"Hi, darling, how're you doing?" She asked.

"I'm fine" Mari answered.

Kion padded forward, and nuzzled Mari's cheek.

"Hey Mari" he said.

"Hi Kion" Mari answered.

Meanwhile, Clea had met up with Belee and Denahi at The Meadow.

They were settled underneath the baobab tree.

"I love you, Tante Clea" Belee said.

Clea bent her head, and rubbed her muzzle against Belee's cheek.

"I love you too" Clea said.

Denahi sighed, and pressed himself against Clea's pelt.

"What's wrong, Denahi?" Clea asked.

"I'm tired, Tante" Denahi answered.

Clea's expression softened.

She bent her head, and nuzzled Denahi's cheek.

"How's Bemba?" Belee asked.

"She's fine" Clea answered.

She watched Denahi press himself against her flank.

"Tante, are you proud of me?" Belee asked.

Clea nodded.

"Of course" she said.

"Do you think Mari's sweet?" Denahi asked.

"Yes, Mari is a darling cub" Clea answered.
