[Hope Rayfa doesn't mind him holding her in his embrace for a little while longer. There was something more personal about this, sentimental feelings of happiness he hadn't felt since those early years before things had gone south. It really hits him, that he was really hugging the daughter he had lost all those years, how a small change turns into a desire he didn't realize how much he wanted until the opportunity presented itself.]
I'm happy that you're here with me. [Of course she has been, but he felt like telling her anyway.]
[ it hits her now that it's not just her who's needed comfort. her experiences may be different and that's why she feels so bad, but dhurke never got to see her grow up or be there for her whenever she needed the love of her father. it makes her grip on him tighten (as tight as it can be, anyway) in an attempt to let him know that she's here now.
rayfa stays silent, though, afraid she might say something hurtful when she's not very good at words to begin with. but with her warmth and how much the lights in the room brighten, it should probably be saying how she feels. ]
