[It takes Emil a moment to realize that he's expected to eat this, like, beyond just the cherry. Lalli giving him rejected butterscotch syrup isn't... really appetizing, but hmm. Okay?
He will take this spoon, and he will eat this butterscotch. Slowly, because there's a ton of it.]
Speak for yourself. [Here he is, eating a spoonful of pure butterscotch, watching this boy go to town on vanilla ice cream. Amazing.] At least you're enjoying yourself now.
[They're poor as shit now! Already! But he can't deny that Lalli enjoying the simple delights of plain ice cream is a good point in this otherwise terrible day, like the shopping. They're not totally miserable! It will do!]
