[One day he will bodily throw Lalli into a lake or something when he's refusing to wear a different sweater. Just know it's coming, because he Can.
That said— thanks much, he is definitely stronger than this other boy!! Who cares if people can hear them having this conversation? Not Emil, for sure. He already looks slightly more smug about his Strength, which is all the inspiration he needs to go wait in line without fussing about not holding hands anymore.
Don't worry! When he wins better than anyone has ever won before, holding hands will be an obligatory part of his victory lap!
Of course, when it's Emil's turn to whack this thing with a big hammer, his first step is making sure Lalli is watching. Hello, look at him, thanks. A few of the young Blood and landens are mildly interested in this if only because Strangers are, well, strange. Also, Emil is tiny, which doesn't seem... promising.
Thankfully he's a professional at punching and other arm stuff like swinging this hammer around, but his Big Impressive Win is more like, hmm, 3/4 of the total height of the thing? He's already wondering if the game is cruelly rigged against him personally, even as the game runner tries to wave a prize at him. How dare they build this mean game...]
