Where Is Alderaan?

*** 

When Emma and Therius finally left the hut to check on her friends and Alderaan, the absence of the young boy alarmed the both of them at the same time. Or it was more of Emma worrying.

Therius' men, Avato, and the others were around and just not visible.

If anything else were to happen to Alderaan, Therius' people could handle it… but it didn't mean that it was any good to see and know that the young boy was not within their sight. He immediately went over to the table.

Stell, Miri, and Alana were all busy preparing the jam when Therius and Emma arrived.

"Where is Alderaan?" Emma asked. 

Stell looked up and smiled. "He's with Solar in the forest to—"

"To go fruit picking? I see. I'll go get him then." Emma nodded quickly and then turned to Therius with a smile. "How about you taste test some of the fruit jam, Therius? We're going to give some to our professors so we'd like your assessment on it."
