[Sorry, Emil, but even ice cream isn't magical enough to make Lalli any less of a Debbie Downer. He'd spent that hour underneath the bed wondering if agreeing to come here was truly the right thing to do, and now that he's, you know, feeling... better... than he's felt since waking up in the Queen's Residence for the very first time—hmm. It's confusing? Just like having Emil here is confusing. Emil should be back in Iceland, or Sweden, where he wouldn't have to worry about magic at all; Lalli is 100% convinced of this, and yet there's still something nice about looking across this table and seeing his one friend sitting there.
...Friendship! How complicated! It's why he focuses on scooping up more butterscotch-free ice cream instead of saying that he, too, is glad that Emil is around.]
Aha.
[Does he shoot Emil an unimpressed Look... maybe so, because he should have come BEFORE the bed??? Enjoy these several seconds of pointed silence before he deigns to speak again.]
The best thing here is this? And... understanding everyone. Maybe. [Take that! Except... not. He's a brat, sure, but he's not a liar; he knows damn well that "everyone" isn't entirely true, so, after a brief pause—] ...You.
[Like, outside of a dream! Anyway, his softness limit has been reached for the rest of this month... let him eat the rest of his ice cream in peace...]
