Gareth finished his plate, and he exchanged looks with Eva across the table. He listened to Sophia and Mentha initiate a conversation, and Harker's sense of alert peaked before subsiding into the innocence of a child. Of course, it didn't vanish, but it was in the back of his mind and he still kept note of the boy's lone presence with no adult. "Hello, excuse me, Mentha, my name is Gareth," he interjected after Sophia ended her question and the boy responded. "Why are you here all alone? Where are your parents?" Gareth's voice sounded sympathetic, and it was indeed sincere; a child shouldn't be out by himself in any case, unless it was only for a very brief period of time or to a place where he'd be safe. The boy's clothes indicated he was from around these parts, but the eyes were very bizarre.
