[It does indeed help, probably because words just... zip across the connection without Lalli having to actually say them. That tiny, missing step makes all the difference when Lalli has to chat about complicated things like feelings. It's smoother? Easier, somehow, for him to talk about things he's not used to talking about.
So this is good! Very good, actually, and Emil might just feel a tiny ripple of... satisfaction? Relief? Both in equal measure.]
Mmh. I'm... glad. [Has Lalli ever said that in his life? He wonders.] It's easy. Nice.
[Nice to know that Emil is there without one of them being trapped in the other's mind? AND nice to know when Emil means exactly what he says! Well, it's not like this has been a big issue so far, but Lalli remembers Tuuri's weird jokes-that-were-apparently-not-jokes; with this... whatever it is, Lalli doesn't have to worry about that with Emil. Good.
Still, while Lalli would be content to keep conversations constrained to this space, he's not dumb; he recognizes that (best) friendships require a bit of give-and-take, which is why he... clears his throat a bit. Like, in the real world.]
But we can still talk like this? Because you like to.

[Look at this sacrifice he's making? Love him.]
