Rala went wide eyed and grinned, "Stormy!" 

  Leaping foreword she gently bumped the smaller female's snout, then licked it and sat back to chuckle. Her chest was bubbling with excitement and she found herself purring.....it had been years since she had ever purred to anyone....

"Oh Stormy! I thought I would never see you again!" 

 But, her excitement was abruptly interrupted.

  Above she heard the distant yet definite call of a dragon; the tone in the roar heavy with what Rala's instincts told her were anger and defensive hostility. 
  Immediately the dragoness tensed and her lips curled, before she looked up and saw the dark form soaring in the skies above. 

  Curse the storms how was she to deal with this?! Now of all times.

Shooting her gaze to Stormy she nodded, "Let's go." 

  She didn't like to back down from a fight; especially if it meant protecting her sister. But at the moment she wondered if retreating was the better choice. 

She lunged foreword and gently nudged beside Stormy, giving her body to lean on as she pointed them in the right direction, "Hurry."
