Rami followed Kovu and Kiara into the den, still holding onto his sister tightly.
Kovu and Kiara both laid down on the raised rock in the den that was reserved for the king and queen. Rami paused by the entrance of the den, unsure where to go.
Simba, Nala, Sarafina,and shuffled into the den, settling into their own places. When Vitani entered she noticed the two cubs waiting. "You okay, kid?"
"N-no..." Rami sniffled.
"Do you want me to sleep by you tonight?" Vitani asked, her Lion Guard instincts taking over.
Rami nodded and followed her over to the other lions. Vitani lead them over to Kovu and Kiara, helping them on top of the raised rock.
Kiara smiled gently and put her paw out to Rami, gently pulling him close. Rami relaxed, laying next to her, and set his sister down. Kiara took Akeylah into her paws and groomed her gently, still keeping one paw around Rami.
Feeling calm for the first time that day, Rami felt himself drift off. Before he fell asleep he looked at Vitani, who seemed to be on guard as she promised. Noticing him she smiled slightly, making him feel safe. Rami smiled back and fell asleep.
