[Lalli is indeed watching, because a) he has nothing better to do over here and b) he does want to see how this whole thing turns out? If Emil wins (and earns a prize that's obviously less amazing than the bear Lalli won)—good! Great! If Emil loses—mmph.
So it's with great relief that Lalli watches that weird machine light up farther than it has so far. Emil didn't make it all the way to the top, true, but it's still good? Impressive, really, even though Emil clearly isn't pleased with his own performance. That boy... is so dumb. So, so dumb, but while Lalli watches his dramatic antics from afar, he can't help but to overhear the conversation of some nearby idiots. It's the first landen and his landen buddies, all talking about how this game is clearly rigged in favor of Bloods and their like. That tiny Stranger obviously cheated.]
He didn't.
[So grab that prize, Emil, and wander back over Lalli's way as he argues with this annoyed-looking landen who is insisting that Emil used Craft to show the rest of them up. How can Lalli be so sure that he didn't, huh? How can he be so sure?]
He doesn't know how. [Like, that's just Lalli being honest, but at least he follows it up with a much better—] And he's my best friend.
[That last bit explains EVERYTHING, clearly! To... Lalli.]
you just wanted to use that icon... i see u
