Oh, I'm so sorry. [It's murmured, aware that sympathy can not even begin to bridge the ocean of that loss. The only thing that had really helped her was rebuilding, with Sokka, and GranGran, and Dad when he'd been there... and then doing something about it, to try to make sure it never happened to anyone else again -- that had helped. It hadn't filled up the loss, but it had... expanded the territory of her heart, given her new places to live instead of out of lack and pain.
She's not sure what the right thing is to say. She hesitates for a moment and then:] I understand what that can be like. My village... [Her hand goes to her mother's necklace for a moment] ...was one of the ones I've seen destroyed by raids. So - I know how hard it can be, if you'd like to tell me what happened. I can listen.
