[It's to be expected, he supposes. Mortals are looking for an easy out. Now, he doesn't know her nor will he pretend to but the story feels irritatingly similar to someone else he knows who was willing to leave everything behind for something that was so much better.
Maybe it's naive to think that everyone surely has someone who will miss them, look for them, wonder where they went. Perhaps there are truly mortals out there that don't. But...
The indignant lecture that he wants to lay down fades. Mostly because he's not going to lay what he feels in regards to Zagreus trying to get away at a stranger's feet. Being as bad as he is at emotions means he may be blurring lines that aren't there. So he settles for a gentler approach, as is his nature.]
It's not so bad... dying, I mean. In that moment the worst of it is over. And the other side is... It's really nice. Peaceful and quiet. Lots to gossip about and see and explore and experience.
You shouldn't run away from it. It's historically worse if you do. Even still... [He looks at her seriously but not with any emotion other than sympathy.] I will find you eventually and prove it to you.
