Emiya put up no struggle as Solomon took the Child from his care to heal the newcomers, most likely in an attempt to persuade them that his powers were indeed real, and at no monetary cost to themselves. His concern did peak when Solomon materialized a blade, and drew it upon the Child, yet as his "flesh" was rent, no blood was spilled. It was more in texture to a clay than anything else, and the "revelation" that the Child was not from the Hokubu but rather the Void wasn't as big for Emiya, since he already said the Child came from some tear in the fabric of reality, though it's nature was well beyond his ability to comprehend. Merlin's contribution to the discussion was also rather obvious; that the Child's existence brought danger.
There wasn't any attempt at hiding his own biases regarding the Child. Emiya wanted him to grow into a better hero than he ever could be. It was only natural, and yet completely different from how he treated his younger sister years ago. Then again, in her case, she was being forced to grant twisted, tainted wishes, while all Emiya wanted was for her to have a "normal" life. Now though, after seeing the state of the world in the wake of Tiamat, he couldn't help but wish for the Child to right his (partial) wrongs.
Emiya looked over to see a number of children surrounding his Summoning Animal, who'd resigned themselves to the fate of being a pet now, damn the consequences. Lying belly up in sheer bliss, he didn't even register Emiya's presence anymore.
While it was partially a joke, Emiya had to state that he was indeed not the best candidate for taking care of the Child given his beliefs. Sure he was a great role model to aspire to be, in theory, but in practice he was probably just going to leave the Child an orphan well before they made it to Tsumigakure. Just like Kings and leaders of old, he relied on the council of Merlin and Solomon.
"It hasn't happened so far, but there's no doubt people who'd see this Child as a weapon, or a means to gain power. Probably people willing to kill for Him. Whether that's to profit from his power, or use it for their own ends, there's no doubt they exist. Only question is in how to deal with them really. I don't think it's right to keep him separate from people, especially when, after being among them for only a day, he saw the suffering they were going through, and decided to fix it on his own. Imagine what he could do if he was raised properly? That may not necessarily be with me, but with a full understanding of empathy and compassion, and the world around him? He could do so many great, wonderful and frightening things. He could be more of a Hero than any of us."

"That said, the threat of the Child's existence being used against everyone shouldn't be a reason to hide him from the world. I hate to say it, but I've promised to help people, everyone I can, though Tsumigakure and Shinramoto are at the top of that list. That's actually where I was about to head to, before someone thought I should be brought here, not that they were in the wrong for doing so, but still."

"What would you two do? I shouldn't be the only person whose voice matters when it comes to this Child, because I was the only person stupid enough to go diving in the Hokubu. In fact, given that fact, I'm probably the last person who should be given the responsibility, since my first instinct upon seeing danger is to throw myself in front of it to save others."
