Though she wasn't sure she had really said much that might help lift his spirits at all, something had apparently done the trick and he leaned in for a grateful embrace for a moment before thanking her. Novella's own lips would match his soft smile, glad that she had somehow aided, it certainly wasn't nice to see anyone in the family looking so down.
"I'm afraid I can only imagine." Novella responded softly, not pretending for a moment that she could understand the pain he currently felt not knowing where his mate was or if she was ok. Symphony perhaps was the best one to speak to there, currently in the same problem with her own mate. "Your aunt Symphony might be able to help you better to be honest. Her mate, Gitan, has been missing for a little while."
He would make promises to try visit more in the future and Novella sincerely hoped that he would manage that task. It was the question of a ceremony however that held her attention now and she would nod her head happily in agreement. "That sounds like a wonderful idea."
