The reunion lasted a few minutes longer, their emotions laid bare, even though they were technically in a public area with people watching them. It wasn't easy to hold themselves back since it had been so long since they had last seen each other.
Helen appeared the happiest of all, while also crying the most. She constantly hugged every single one of them, overjoyed to see them again.
Long Huan joined the group at some point, greeting them all as well. He held the least emotion out of the entire group, but that wasn't to say that he felt any less a member of the family.
Bladedance and Battlesage watched from the side, each of them holding a hint of a smile as they watched Alex and his family embrace each other. Although, Bladedance could hardly look toward them, as her eyes constantly moved away from them and toward another person nearby.
Alex looked toward his mother.
