It was starting to get colder in the shade now, and though Leon had tried to get back to napping after Dias had left, he found his efforts futile. Yawning, he got to his feet and dusted off a few errant strands of grass from when he'd pulled them up a while before. Maybe he could find a place in the last remains of sun to nap some more before they were called in for dinner.

As he made his way back to the path, he caught sight of another boy about his age and paused. He hadn't really been looking for more company, and it didn't seem like this boy was either, but there weren't many other kids his age in the institute overall... wouldn't it be best if he got to know some of them? Despite the fact that he considered himself intellectually superior than many who were older than he was, he could still use some non-adult company. At least the boy was reading.

"Hey," he began, sitting next to Ritsuka with a smile. He noticed the bandages, but figured they were left over injuries from the night before. "Sorry to bother you, but... I'm Leon. How's it going?"
