Summer is coming, which means that the Game of Thrones fandom is parched and thirsting for any hints about Season 7 (where is our trailer???). In several new photos debuted exclusively by Entertainment Weekly, we did get one hint about where Arya Stark might be heading -- back home.

In one of three new stills and a few behind-the-scenes shots, EW showed Arya riding a horse in broad daylight (a far cry from living incognito for years) and looking fretfully at...something.

In the first Season 7 stills, released in April, we saw Arya sitting at some sort of tavern, a large room not unlike where the Night's Watch frequently meets for administrative meetings and/or dramatic arguments. As Mashable TV Editor Laura Prudom noted, the lighting seems conspicuously warm, but the youngest Stark daughter is still dressed for colder weather than she's seen in years.

She's similarly dressed in the new photo (are these from the same day in Arya's life?), with a thick traveling cloak, sturdy boots, and layers to protect her from the cool air. She probably needs a bit more fur to journey to the Wall, but the outfit is more than appropriate for her long-lost home of Winterfell.

Game of Thrones Season 7 premieres July 16 on HBO.
