Akurle thanked Lilac for the information, then realized with a jolt that Jim and Jetleap had disappeared.

"I'll be right back." Akurle said, rushing off. She was still exhausted, but had just enough strength to jump across the stepping stones and onto the shore. A few paces away, she saw Jetleap and Jim.

"Jim! Jetleap! What in the world are you doing out here!" She rushed toward them and nited how battered Jim looked. In his jaws was a small plant.

"Please don't do that again. You could have died!" She blinked away the tears in her eyes and helped Jim get up. "Wait. Before we go, I need to ask you a question. Do.... do you trust Mr. Buttons? Be honest, please."
