left a part of me behind

Zee stood and greeted him, laying her head on his shoulder. He reached forward to nuzzle at her neck. "It's a long story, you could say my mind got a little lost but it's ok now." He pulled back as Sirius arrived and Zee explained that what had happened to her horns was also a long story and they were just gone.

He smiled grimly. "Seems we have a lot of catching up to do and I don't mind listening to a long story if you wish to tell it. Maybe some food, some wine?" He cast a more debonair grin to Sirius. "I'm sure the Armada's larders are filled with only the finest. Though I should tell you, I'm not here alone. I have children now, two boys." That in and of itself was a long story and he was excited for them to meet his friend but it might need to wait for a more appropriate time. He looked to Zee and Sirius to set the tone and if they wished to be alone he'd of course understand and seek to visit another time.
