[He also wanted to prove he could win, fair assumption. For a moment he considers being offended that Lalli clearly has no faith in his ability to win games, but you know what? It doesn't matter! They're just games! That's growth.
The look Lalli gives him helps, certainly; he's not sure he's ever seen Lalli look so... openly pleased? With him, as an added bonus, and this is definitely a best friend privilege and so Emil is quietly ecstatic about it. Some of that slides into their mental link, a pleased kind of feeling that isn't smug but just... warm.
Status: excellent. And he got a thank you! Wow!!]
Hah, you're welcome! Anytime. Let's go see about you winning all the other games, shall we?
[He's into it... His real calling in life is to be a cheerleader, so now it's time for the long ago suggestion: watching Lalli be good at games. This time he doesn't let his mind boil with potential embarrassment before slipping his hand into Lalli's and nodding towards the rest of the games. It- hand holding- is the Done Thing, now. Time to go!!]
