It's a kind smile. It might be a lie (and even as she smiles back, open as if her city had never been bombed to ruin and her country invaded, she does not fully trust), but there is a kindness there.

Kindness and humour are things to be enjoyed, because they might not last. She's learned that lesson very well.
