[Ah yes, the elusive game Emil can win... He's looking forward to it. For now he looks sideways at Lalli, a little exasperated, but it's fake. Hey...]
I'm not rushing. We can still sit for a while.
[Sitting is just fine! He even puts the bear down on his other side, because he doesn't want to ruin its beautiful blue ribbon and anger the many ghosts trapped inside, either. This is all very... fine; Lalli is feeling better, slowly, so it's his job to tell Emil when it's time to go do other game things, leaving Emil toooo... sit and think.
Yeah, that doesn't last very long. He's a simple creature with simple wants and introspection isn't one of those things— what he wants is the simple warmth and comfort of physical contact. It was fine before! For a while! So surely it will be fine now, all of which he communicates by pinching Lalli's sleeve for a moment to get his attention, then holding his hand out. Here, take this, thank you.]
