This really wasn't the time for a heart to heart. There were people queued up for check-ups and Leonard wanted to get through the line. But really, truly, he wanted to help the kid. It's not like a little stalling for talking would hurt. They could wait. Besides, there were more doctors in this damn place, him lagging a little wouldn't make too much of a difference.
Leonard gave the tiniest smile, but it dwindled as Andros spoke. Dead parents and a kidnapped sister? What the hell was this kid into? If not before all of the trouble, then now? Someone doesn't have a life like that and end up in a regular career field. The injuries made more sense, the not looking for fights, things were coming together a little. But there was no reason to pry. Again, not a parent. But as long as Andros was going to talk, Leonard would listen in both concern and hoping to pick up why the kid was getting himself into all this trouble.
"Yeah." He paused. "Just try not to do what my friend did. I'd rather you not send someone my way and then I'd have to explain why there's a bloody man on Doctor Crusher's biobed." He flashed his eyes over to the female doctor as he spoke, then he paused again. "I'm glad you found your sister, kid. At least you have someone then." Though by the sound of it, it was a long time, and god only knew the mental state of all involved in that one, including the kid.
