[Yes yes, Lalli is amazing, Emil knows!! That's why he's going to spend the rest of the night with him, obviously-- his skill at carnival games. No, but a little bit yes to the smug attitude? Sure, it's ridiculous, but because it's games and not, say, bugging him about magic, it becomes much more endearing...
Sadly, he's going to encourage this. Luckily, they've reached the point in the evening at which everyone else might as well be cardboard cutouts sliding around as decoration and gossip fodder. Only Emil must endure the smug looks.]
I did, and I was terrible at it! If you ask me, that game is rigged... for the rest of us, I suppose.
[He can't resist the dumb little smile on his face when he says this, because he is, indeed, a dingus... Only Lalli, He Who is Best at All Things, can beat that ball-throwing game. It's so obvious now.]
We ought to play a different one later. They're all about throwing something, as far as I can tell...
[Help Emil find the hammer strength game and be amazed that at least one of them can lift the hammer at all.]
