Panel 1. The adventurer and pink fairy sit on an old wooden bench in a city square, under the sunset light. The adventurer looks guilty while the fairy sits with crossed arms, furious and turned away from him.  
Adventurer: "Okay, okay... I spent ALL our gold on that dagger. It wasn't loot. I'm sorry."
Panel 2. The Pink Fairy turns back, angry:  
Pink fairy: "And how can I ever trust you after THAT?!"
Panel 3. The adventurer feels sincerely sorry and sad while watching in his hand the purple epic dagger. The pink fairy watches him with wide eyes, pleasantly surprised.  
Adventurer: "You can't, but give me one chance: I'll sell the dagger and get our gold back."  
Pink fairy: "...Really?"
Panel 4. Inside the shop, the adventurer places the purple epic dagger on the counter. The merchant pushes a single coin across toward them. Both the adventurer and pink fairy stare in disbelief.  
Merchant: "I can buy it back for... one gold coin."

Bonus: Timelapse

While I'm painting, Krita periodically takes a snapshot of the process. Here is a video compilation of all the snapshots for this episode, accelerated a lot (an episode takes between 10 and 16 hours to complete).
