So Lucy's been away for a few days.
She
met someone, see.
And now there's a glossy-scaled dragon walking up the road to her house, which is a place she's quite happy to see again. The hunting was good on the way, at least, so she probably won't eat anyone when she gets there!
Behind her, there's a (highly adorable) red girl who probably isn't immediately visible. As Lucy has been figuring out, Penance likes to hide.
