Snowmelt festival!

Spring was here, and little Jay couldn't be more excited. Not that she was all that little anymore - she'd started to really grow into her frame, looking very much like a yearling now, though she was still thin and gangly, clearly with a bit of growing yet to do. Still, she still maintained an overall childlike demeanor, especially when it came to exploring the world around her. It was hard to shake that infectious joy, especially as she trekked over a fresh budding patch of dandelions, pausing on her way to the festival to grab a few, even though they weren't yet bloomed. Maybe if she'd slowed down she'd think to grab one for each sibling and both her parents, but she was far too eager to gather for the Snowmelt festival.

Once she came upon what was prepared, her mood only further brightened. There was food and drink, and lambs! Baby ones! Corbie had been the one to teach her that lambs weren't just food, that they had an obligation to raise them and keep them safe too, and she gave a happy whine as she circled near the ewes before moving alongside her siblings that had arrived first. She tentatively took a bite of the meat Merlin was testing, giving a grin to Leaf as she raised her head. "It's very good," she answered first, glancing over to Corbie and giving her a pleased grin of acknowledgement.
