Whilst the scents strongly suggested that Novel hadn't simply been left alone during her struggle, Novella would still be rather surprised to see Ara appear from within Novel's den. Rather than realising how close the two girls had become, she instead recalled that Ara was a healer and would come to the conclusion that perhaps she was simply there to help Novel keep healthy. She could only imagine the mental problems that were likely making poor Novel feel worse on top of the usual pregnancy symptoms.
Her niece was asleep though and it seemed that if she wanted to check in now she'd have to speak to Ara for a while. She certainly had no problems with that, though she didn't know her too well she had no problems at all with the girl, she seemed rather friendly and caring, not to mention she had kept her mother and siblings safe during the birth of the children. Ara was more than ok in her books.
"I heard what happened." She would begin quietly, the sympathy evident within her voice whether Ara needed to hear it or not. "How is she doing?"
