Lydia's brain had wrapped around some interesting concepts--but this.... She was so grateful she wasn't doing it alone, although she would've if she'd had to. Jack hadn't talked with her often of the Doctor, but she'd known enough.
She could see why Jack admired him so... While the information was safely contained in a part of her mind, shared among them all--that loneliness struck a chord. A chord that had been pinged far too recently, even if she didn't have this man's reasons for it.
Once she was sure it was over, Lydia didn't quite think. She just did--moving from the group and latching around the Doctor's waist in a hug. Trying to convey that she understood. They couldn't take away the loneliness--nothing could, but they could help balm against it. She wasn't sure if it was so tight for herself (given her recent issues Crystallis had provoked) or for him, but she's not letting go easily.
