[There are a lot of things he could probably say in response to that, including having an explanation for why he thought of it or an apology for just dumping it on him without any warning at all, because let's face it, it is at least a tiny bit something that could have done with a bit more introduction.
He knows Erik's started to let himself remember some of the better parts of his childhood, and he knows some of that is his fault (not that there's really any fault to be had in remembering a time before things got bad and the good parts of your life were ripped away from you piece by piece), but there are some things even a telepath can't bring back, and Erik more than deserves to have that.
And they have kids now, as ridiculous as that still feels sometimes (and as ridiculous as it is to call them kids, considering there's really only about a decade's difference in age between them), and if Erik wants to tell them about his parents, he should have the tools and ability to do so. His parents were good people who should be remembered for more than being victims of the greatest atrocity in human history, and as long as they're in a place where the impossible happens nearly every day, why not take advantage of that to bring back some of what he'd lost?
So instead of explaining, he just smiles, still more than a little relieved that this is all being pretty well received.]
