[As she talks, he keeps his silence, listening carefully to it. And like she had warned before, it's a lot. Not quite as heavy and dark as he'd been assuming it would be... But still clearly meaningful for her. Someone she saw as a father lost, and lacking the answers. And while he can't quite relate to that personally (He's never had any desire to know about his own birth parents, after all--) the questioning and looking for a reason why is something anyone can understand.

He turns slightly as she shifts up, closer and more level with him, as opposed to being as far down as their height differences usually leave her, and keeps watching her expression as she speaks. As usual, it's controlled and even. And if he didn't have the bond with her, maybe he'd be stumped by her blank slate facade.

Even with the bond, she's a tough read. But there's certainly something. Or else this wouldn't be so important to her.]

And what do you think about it. Bringing the guy back somehow, if it were possible.

[Clearly she wants to know the reasons and why they left, why they didn't so much as offer for her to rejoin. She'd already said as much. But this is surely a far more complicated situation than that.]

...And if they did, would you wanna go back to 'em?
