[A simple greeting... will suffice, because for once it's less about what Emil says and more about how he says it? Like, there's no bright smile to really welcome him back (how sad), but even though Lalli misses ninety percent of social cues, all of this seems genuine. ...And still a wee bit awkward, but.
But. Emil speaking first definitely helps break the ice; Lalli continues studying him for a moment longer, not really caring about the state of Emil's anything—except for that messy hair. Does Emil know? Has Emil seen? He's almost certain that he should just let it go, considering that a) touching Emil caused all of yesterday's problems and b) things are still... a bit touch and go (ha) at the moment, and yet—well. He takes a few more steps forward, telling himself that he's just going over to grab his sweater even as he heads straight for Emil.
Maybe some oh-so small part of him is reminding him that Emil reached out first? Maybe, just maybe, it's reminding him of Emil apologizing, and saying that he missed him, and telling him that he's the best part of being here? Or maybe Lalli slowly, hesitantly reaches up to smooth Emil's hair back into place because it feels like... the right thing to do here. The friendly thing.]
Hmh. [Boy, your hair is a MESS! But also, as he brushes this bit of hair to the side—] ...Hello.
