Kick's been gone for two days. (It may seem longer, if you haven't seen her -- and chances are, you haven't. She's stealthy like that.)
She hates being home, though, especially without her uncle (even if he's the reason she left in the first place) -- so before the sun rises, she slinks back through her door and back into Milliways.
Slowly, she makes her way to Bar and is greeted by a happy-looking Nero on the way. "Shush, you," she says to the wolf, petting him on the head. "Don't you tell uncle Nick I'm back yet."
He doesn't. He does follow her, though, hoping that Kick'll share the waffles she just got from Bar.
She does.
So there you have it -- a small girl and a wolfpup who's a little more than half her size, sitting near the fire, eating waffles.
