Makini examined Kion and got to work on a antidote while Rani laid next to him.
Rani: Is it almost ready?
Makini: It is ready. It will help wake him up sooner but he might still have a bad headache.
Makini gave it to Kion and left the two alone. Rani nuzzled Kion and his breathing was as steady as ever. She relaxed up against him. Sunset came soon and Bunga and Binga came in with sleeping cubs and set the cubs down and left. Rani snuggled close with Kion and fell asleep.
The next day, Kion woke up with a headache. Kion moved slowly as to not wake up Rani.
Rani slowly stirred when Kion moved and eventually opened her eyes.
Rani: Nice to see you awake.
Kion: Yeah. What happened with Kia?
Rani: Your friends managed to get her out and Makini gave you the same stuff Rafiki did.
Kion: That explains the taste.
Kion and Rani nuzzled each other.
Rani: Always someone to save someone else, aren't you?
Kion: You know me. I better meet up with the others.
Rani: Oh no you don't. I was told you might wake with a headache. Now is that true?
Kion: Maybe a little.
Rani: You liar. You do have a headache and you aren't going anywhere until it's better.
Kion: You're the Queen.
Rani: You got that right.
Kion: Fine. I guess we'll stay here then.
