The situation is very different from her own, so much so that she can't imagine herself in Lola's shoes, but she can understand enough to move closer and slip an arm around Lola's shoulders, giving her a light hug that she can pull away from if she likes.

"I know very few people who want the children they have, but it's a necessary evil... and currently my daughter is the only part of home I have that won't be insulted to my face." Her shoulders slump slightly as she speaks. "I miss Aristeo very dearly, but I'm sure I'll never see him again. So I'm happy to at least bring his child into this world, and see him in her face." And this feels just too heavy, so she flashes Lola a quiet smile. "I can't pretend to know the challenges you faced, but I know a frown looks out of place on you. You should be enjoying the festival, not moping around with me."
