Leah had been poking around the other buildings. After the fire, she'd been relocated to the building on the far end of town, which did not suit her, because she worked closer to buildings A and C, so she was looking to switch. She wasn't really sure who she was supposed to complain to about that, though, so mostly she was just hanging around the lobby of building A, waiting for some local to show up and help her or something. She'd begun to wander through the courtyards when a lone child caught her eye.
Leah wasn't a particularly maternal person by nature, or hadn't been until she'd lost her boyfriend and ability to have children. It was funny how not being able to have something you didn't really want made you think you wanted it a lot. In any case, she'd been irked that the small boy was alone, and wondered if he was a local or one of the real people, like her. He was reading, so that was one point towards real person, which lead her to wonder if his parents were around, too. She wandered over to him, wanting to be sure that he was alright without spooking him, because she looked a little ominous at six foot two.
