[The boy's skittish reaction had told her more than his response ever could have. He was lost but more than that, the paranoid body language hinted at some major vulnerabilities. She groaned internally, when was it that the soldier had turned babysitter.
Shaking her head in some twisted mix of pity and frustration she turned to walk away from the boy. Only when her back faced him did she look back with minimal effort.]
