Neverwinter Forest Where all problems seem to disappear

Whatever questions she had about the possible danger lurking nearby or this Belharra that Mal didn't seem to like (which by extension meant she didn't like them either) were forgotten instantly when Mal said that the child was his. He followed it with a story composed mostly of one confusing thing after another. Most of the time in this situation, she would disappear into her head and mull over all her questions, but since it was Mal, she had no problem asking him to clarify anything that didn't make sense. For starters: You didn't know better? Her tone held no accusation, just a need to understand. She honestly had no idea how any of this worked. She left before she had that conversation with her mom, and she just naively assumed that if you had children, they were on purpose. Another thing that she didn't understand was why Mal was referring to the mother as a he. Why are you saying he? she asked just as calmly. If she had a baby, then she's a girl, right? Maybe it had just been a slip? He didn't seem too comfortable discussing the whole thing, so maybe it was just an accident. 

As for the reason they were here now, Simmik definitely understood that. They needed somewhere safe to be, and this was the safest place around in her opinion. The fact that the mom initially just took off kind of rubbed her the wrong way, though. Why come here and tell him that he was going to have a kid just to take off and promise that he'd never see them? She could tell by the way Mal talked about it that it upset him, and she couldn't help but feel like she wanted to do something about it. She wouldn't because that would probably upset him too, but she definitely wanted to.
