Raucous
-
The gates to Jiyyd are opened, and six laughing and screaming teenage children come barreling through down the street. Hot on their heals is Maya with a young girl on her shoulders. The young girl holds a long stick in her hand, on the end of which is a sack dripping with red dye or berries. Two of Maya’s braids are looped and tied together behind her head, and the young girl holding on to them is heard to shout “Giddy-Up!”.
They make several circuits through Jiyyd, making quite a raucous. After about half an hour they all tiredly head back to the Sisterhood, many of them splotched with red.

*Lily observes the spectacle with reserved curiosity. Maya's recent behavior something she hadn't seen from the woman in years. Grinning from ear to ear seeing a familiar face within Jiyyd was more then welcomed.
