Ara rolled her eyes slightly at his sarcastic comment, though her grin only grew. "Well, good. I can't wait to meet her," she responded earnestly, her gaze serious despite the jesting. She was happy he'd found someone to share his life with; hers wouldn't have been complete without someone to share it with, and at least now with one of her sons (and grandchildren) back in her life, she felt much more content.
Her expression softened as he continued on, explaining that - though his personality was very similar to Novel's, a thing that warmed her heart - he looked much like him. She nearly cringed at the thought, thankful for the warning though she knew she would get used to it quite quickly. Ara was quick to nod, taking that information to heart while gladly moving on to different matters. "A healer in training, huh?" Her joy was evident at this news; she would love nothing more than to help Octave train, something she knew would've definitely made Novel proud.
She truly couldn't wait to meet her grandsons and granddaughter, no matter who they resembled or where their interests might lie; though saying she wasn't particularly excited to meet Octave now would be a lie. "I do hope they do," she admitted with a gentle smile. "Though so long as they are happy, I'll have no complaints."
