Sophie looked around, and saw everyone crowding around Biana. But there was still one person missing.

You okay?

No.

Want me to go over there?

Please.

Sophie turned and walked towards the tree that Fitz was at. As she got closer, she saw Fitz's knuckles were a little red. 

"Fitz, is there anything I could do?" Sophie asked, sitting down right next to where he was standing.

"If it means capturing the Neverseen, then yes. But, you being here does make me feel better." Fitz replied, slowly sitting down next to Sophie. 

They stayed quiet for a few minutes before Sophie felt Fitz's head rest on her shoulder. She smiled.

"I just don't get it. Why would the Neverseen be here? I mean-" Fitz paused for a few seconds, and Sophie slowly turned her head towards him.

"What?"

"Alvar."  Fitz continued.

"What about Alvar?" Sophie asked.

"They might've used him as a trap, like what they did with the hideout through the Lodestar mirror." Fitz explained, picking his head up to look at Sophie.

"True, but why would they do that? What do they need from us?"

"Because of that." The two looked up to find Sandor, pointing to a spot near some trees.
