It wasn't a crazy assumption to have made, there after all was only about a year in between them in age, there was more than that between Novella and her eldest siblings and the same gap between her and her cousins. She certainly wouldn't fault Ara for having made a guess in the first place and fortunately from the small smile and the acknowledgement that she'd gotten the right Novel it seemed that the other girl wouldn't be disheartened at all by the fact she had made a minor error.
Her head would tilt slightly to one side at the soft 'wow' that Ara gave. Whilst she certainly wouldn't change her family for the world, apart from perhaps having them all get along and be close enough to see regularly, Novella certainly didn't see much special about her family. It may have been large, but it was normal to her, she didn't know any different at all nor did she know that others might perhaps think it a little surprising how large it was. Still, although confused, she wouldn't question it and Ara moved on to discuss her own family.
"I'll keep an eye out for them then as well." Novella responded with a small smile. Though she adored her family and main goal it seemed at times was keeping close to them, she certainly wouldn't turn away any potential new friends either. "Where did you all travel from then?" There was no guaranteeing she would know the place but it was polite to ask all the same.
