"Oh? Who have you adopted?" He asked with a grin. Whoever she was, he'd want to keep an eye out for her (or them since that sounded like multiple daughters) on Reggie's behalf. "I picked up a few strays when I was on the train. It's hard not to."
Tony had felt the sincerity of the offer. It just further endeared the king to him. It was strange how he'd initially had such a negative view of Regis when it had been just Ignis on the train. When Gladio had arrived, he'd set Tony straight and now he had an even better understanding. He wished there was a way he could help the Eos people from the portion of their story he was aware of.
"Perhaps.." Tony agreed with a sigh. The hand on his shoulder was nice. It was one of his 'go to' moves for others and he liked the feel of it getting returned.
"It isn't easy. When I left home, I didn't think I'd ever be in another relationship. However, I think it was easier for me in a way since I knew I'd fulfilled my marriage vow to be faithful 'til death do us part'. It was off by a second or two, but I will not see my wife again. I still struggled but.. Ignis was alone for the first time from his friends and duty. He was terribly proper. It was.. well, it was just plain fun to mess with him. He'd get easily flustered." He chuckled and looked up at his friend.
"He was much too young for me and I tried to keep it as a joke, but he didn't care about that. The one here isn't who I knew. I can tell and I'm getting more and more satisfied that we're just friends since some of his old 'cute quirks' are actually 'annoying mannerisms'. Either way, he- along with the other three- are always going to mean something to me."
"I hope if Cor ever comes back, no matter what point in his life he is at, you'll find that spark again. The boys always said such good things about the man whenever he came up. It might be awkward if he has someone at home, but I've learned you can, in fact, love more than one person at a time," he advised. He didn't know Will enough to comment on him, but he definitely had heard some stories of 'The Immortal' when they would spar or prep for missions. He'd been their teacher and someone all of them had looked up to. The fact the king had been in love with him wasn't as big of a surprise as it should've been.
Sorry Tony talks so much
