Whatever's going on in Gregor's mind to produce that kind of response, it's something awfully opaque. At least, the details of it are. On the surface, the internal conflict and the struggle to accept the concept of his kid's early death are readable enough. Besides, Rosinante knows there's something odd going on in that world with Gregor's ability to die, live, and die again, so the fact that he's missing some details is not exactly a surprise, it just makes it a little harder to follow everything he just heard. That struggle is evident enough in his expression, as he searches Gregor's eyes for meaning to add to the words.
But he doesn't find much, so he'll just have to carry on responding to the parts he does follow, and maybe some of the rest will become clearer in the end.
"You've seen a different side of life than most people have, I know that. Especially as you've come here twice. Living, dying, living again and then dying again probably gives a unique perspective." He's putting it charitably, mostly because he doesn't like this notion that there is no justice in anything. Not the first time he's heard someone say that, though, either.
"Given all that, misunderstanding might be inevitable. But I wouldn't want your kid to wind up here while young, either. The few kids we had here already were pretty heartbreaking to think about. Nobody wants kids to be put in circumstances like that." Or if some people do, they're people he sure doesn't care to meet unless he's bringing them to a secure facility in cuffs. But. He waves his cigarette to indicate that's not really his main point here.
"I just have to ask. What are you trying to suggest, that only bad people wind up here? Or some equivalent, if you don't believe in 'bad'?"
