[That's his delayed reaction boy... Is hand observing time over? Emil doesn't mind at all, considering, but it'd be nice to have confirmation on whether or not they're just going to look at each other for a while now. They could go wander around (slowly!) to find this elusive game for him to play, but sitting here is just as good... He's so torn between his restlessness, which is edging closer to giddiness, embarrassing— and his desire to enjoy this quiet little moment together.
That particular feeling sneaking through their mental link is another story entirely, however. It's a pleasant surprise, and a pleasant feeling at that; it bumps into Emil's restlessness, as it were, and tips it over into the dreaded giddiness. That's there, in the link, but Emil cannot keep anything completely in and so he laughs, leaning closer to bump his shoulder into Lalli's while his friendly punch hand is occupied. He doesn't pull away immediately, either; just give him a moment for this friendly bump.]
Me too, Lalli.
[This, above all else, is the softest he's ever been... Just a second longer and then he moves away again, to look the other way at the haunted bear, like maybe it moved or something while he was doing that?? Let him have this.]
