Leia had been on her way to the med bay when she spotted the little girl. Though a good bit lower tech than the restraints generally used in her galaxy, the collar and shackles as well as the girl's obvious anxiety and the fact that she was looking for her 'Master' added up to only one thing in her mind; the girl was a slave.

She squelched the surge of anger and outrage such a thought produced, pushing those feelings to the back of her mind. They would likely only frighten the girl, especially if she thought they were directed at her. She could be angry later. Instead she allowed compassion and concern to take the fore as she approached the girl.

"Are you alright there, little one?", she asked.
