Will kept his eyes on the streets as he flew towards their new home. The narrow paved roads were full of activity. People walked on the sidewalk into various small buildings.

"The roads are black here." Maya commented as she flew next to Will. "Why are there no markets?" She looked at the many people walking in the streets. Will didn't blame her for not knowing, as far as she was concerned, stalls were for markets, not buildings.

"There are markets." Will said with a half smile. "They are in those many small buildings." He pointed to the various buildings that had many people entering and exiting.

"Come on!" Maya started to descend from the sky. "I want to see these stores!" She dropped onto the street and waved to Will, urging him to join her.

Will shook his head and sighed inwardly. "She is such a girl." He said to himself while he dropped from the sky.

No matter what Maya had been through. Whether it was dying, or the torture later on, she was still a girl.
