"The best memories." Ones tinged with nostalgia, an emotion that the forward-thinking Titan doesn't often allow himself to express. "He was a king, you know. A wise and noble leader. He inherited the best of what his mother and I had to offer. He lived a long time, longer than most humans, but he was mortal." He sighs, a sad smile gracing his lips. "After he passed on, it didn't feel right to stay among his people. That's when I started traveling... and you're right, it wasn't easy. Hard to explain how you manage not to age." His smile turns amused. "I got accused of being a witch a couple times. Or a demon. The demon one was kind of a funny story, actually, if you're interested?"
He's not expecting an enthusiastic response, but he'd like to keep the conversation light for a little while longer. To give Thor something else to think about besides loss.
"Yes, I think the pokémon are right out, unfortunately. She can always come back to the Nexus when she's older." He's thinking about the logistics when Thor makes his offer, and the Titan's entire face lights up, as if he can't help it. "Thank you, friend, I appreciate it. They've become like family, to me." And unlike humans, he can have so many more years with them.
He looks out that way, towards the mainland. "So, not too much mingling yet," he muses thoughtfully. Of course, with an entire world in mourning, now's not exactly the time for traveling.
