A large portion of it was gratitude but there was also the slightly bit of pain caught up in it too.

Raiden. Raiden. She'd gone so quiet and so still that Roswynn had as well, dropping the earring and instead patting her hand against her mother's cheek. "mumamumamuma" she babbled, though Emmalee paid her little mind.

It had really been only a few moments, even if it had felt like ages, before she dropped her hand and gave him a small, watery smile. "I'm... going to hug you now."

And she did.

The hug should not have been as unexpected as it was. Raiden blinked some more, thoughts sluggishly trying to process what was happening, and then she was hugging him. It took him only half a moment to remember that he too had working arms, and he very carefully wrapped them around her, trying not to jostle the little girl she had already been holding before she was holding him.

"It's really you," he managed, squeezing her gently. "Merlin alive..."

He had so many questions. She was here? She had children? Everything else in the entire world? But none of them seemed ready to form coherent words just then. He'd been shocked into silence. So he just... hugged her.

He was pretty sure if she hadn't been holding an infant, it would have felt exactly the same.
