[It takes time and patience and blah, blah, blah, but also: Lalli has never taught anyone anything before? It's hard enough for him to wrap his mind around the fact that Emil, as terrible as he is as this whole magic thing, is Trying His Best and barely managing telepathy.
But this outing, as dumb as it's been, does help, if only because he doesn't enjoy seeing Emil look so drained? And that hand is another thing to feel slightly guilty about, even though the splinter in it isn't his fault. Ugggggh. He watches Emil for another few seconds, trying to think of something to say before settling for a second pat on the shoulder. It doesn't make up for anything, but this you've-done-well pat isn't nearly as brief as the earlier pity pat.]
...Mhm.
[He Saw the sheet once and he's... pretty sure he knows where they should drop these off at, so? When the patting is through, he will indeed go over to pick up as many boards as he can handle. ...It's probably, like, two. He's probably dragging them on the ground as he leads the way. The person who needs them might have a thing or two to say about that when he drops them on top of the pile, but hey, the only thing that REALLY matters here... is that they successfully delivered these boards! You are WELCOME, Loren.]
