There might have been some small sense of smug victory that siezed Raisa as she pushed her littermate into the dirt between reminiscing over their childhood and a punishment for being gone so long. That's what happened: squished, smothered with love, oh the horrors!
Sera didn't expect the hit and went sprawling, and Raisa lay atop her prize long enough to rumble a happy sound and lick her sister across the forehead.

After another long moment, she moved to let her sister up.

I've missed you, she admitted softly, eyes shining with happiness, Have you come to claim your place as Lady of Seiiki?

A new name she was toying with, and this was the first she'd spoken it aloud. Still, she hoped Serafina would accept; she wanted her littermate to know she meant the world to Raisa.
