Tam: *shrugs, wincing as he does so* She wanted someone to be with her until the baby was born…and I guess hoped they’d take it with them when they left. Her husband died in a work accident a few months ago, and no one else has been willing to help her or take her in. Guess she figured she could get away with spending her last coins since she wouldn’t need money herself much longer. *the words may be callous but his tone is low – life is what it is, childbirth took his own mother too, but that doesn’t make the loss of hers any less sad, just that he can’t do anything about it*
