Moira smiled and cradeled Aisling carefuly, cooiing a bit until the baby smiled, and fell asleep in her arms, as she rocked her back and forth a bit.
She nodded. "I lived most of my life in an orphanage. I took care of the children and babies when I was old enough." She smiled and sat next to Fancy. "It was calming to me..." She shrugged. "Can't do that now...orphanage burned down..."

Fancy looked at Moira sympatheticly. "Mmm... Its really to bad about the orphangage. It was such a better place then the Refuge." she smiled at the other girl. "I think she likes you..." Fance whispered to Moira, nodding to Aisling. Aiden grabbed a hand full of Fancys hair and pulled. She giggled a bit and pulled it away. "This one on the other hand..." she smiled, teasingly down at her baby.

Moira shrugged. "Ach...things happen. No need to get sad or upset about it...just move on to the next thing." She smiled softly.
"What happened to the father?" She knew quite a few girls in the orphanage who had given up their children from the death or the simple leaving of their fathers.

Cheater half-listened, spacing out every few seconds and staring at the ceiling. She wasn't looking for shapes... or animals... the ceiling was what was interesting her at the moment. What happened if it suddenly just dissapeared?

Fancy looked at Moira for a moment. "He's still here..."she replied in a quiet voice, not really sure what to say to that. "We're not together anymore." was all she said, looking the girl in the eyes. She looked away at Cheater, swallowing hard on the tears that welled up.

Moira gasped softly and hugged Fancy with her free arm. "It's okay...I'm sorry. I don't always think." She shrugged. "It happens...but sometimes it is for the best. Even if you can't see that now."

Fancy smiled sadly at the other girl. "Its alright, you didn't know." she gave her a one armed hug and looked down at the baby in her arms. "At least i have the children right?" she smiled down at Aiden and looked at Aisling, a sigh escaping her lips.

"Way to look on the bright side, Fance!" Cheater said, giving Fancy a one-armed hug and smiling at her.

Fancy gave Cheater a strained smile and leaned on her shoulder a little as she was hugged. "Thanks Cheats." she whispered in her friends ear.

Moira nodded. It wasn't her place to say anything. She just met these girls. "And yes...you have the children. They are what really matter anyways."

Fancy smiled at Moira. "I know, thank you." she gave Moira and Cheater greatful smiles. How nice to have friends that cared, even if she had just met Moira, she considered her somewhat of a friend and of course beloved Cheater...

<<new day>>
Moira slipped into the bunk/hammock room and seeing no one around was sleeping, she spoke up. "Well here ya go, Gilbert." She gestured. "I don't know if was boys on one side, goils on the other when you were here..." She pointed to the messier side of the room--the boys side. "But there ya are."

Gilbert glanced around the room. Definitely a step down from the apartment, but hell so was the rent so he couldn't complain. He set his carpet bag down and fished into his pant pocket. A moment later he flipped a coin to Moira with a laugh "Tippin' ya for your service" and proceeded deeper into the room.
He inspected the few hammocks which appeared to be unclaimed and snorted. None seemed very good, - holes, stretched, just down right broken. So in Gilbert fashion he went to one that was in good shape, picked up a dirty shirt and book that seemed to be claiming it and tossed them on the neighboring hammock. "There.."he mumbled and pushed his bags underneath it before jumping onto it. He stretched out hooking his ankles and folding his arms behind his head.

Moira laughed and then flicked the money back to him. "First ones on the house...gotta give you a sample of my skills!" She laughed a bit and watched him. "...just so you know, if your hammock is in too bad o shape...give it to me." She gestured to one that loooked near perfect. "...I could patch it in a day or so...I'm a pretty good seamstress- somethin' I did in the orphanage for an extra coin sometimes."

Gil pocketed the money and propped himself up to look at her. "Ahh good skill fer a woman" he said looking at her hammock then his newly stolen one. "Mine looks pretty good fer now anyways - but I do 'ave some pants you could mend" Gil sat up and opened up his carpet bag. A moment later he pulled out a pair of wool trousers, the seat ripped open.
