[Covering his ears, he means. The children can smell fear. He doesn't have a spare coat to drape over Lalli like he's covering a skinny, moody birdcage, but please... Maybe making sure Lalli doesn't completely wig out takes priority over these children. Emil tugs on his sleeves with both hands, not that he has a solution... Lalli can just face the wall in the corner for a while.
Anyway Emil is Not doing Anything that involves strange kids pretending to beat him up with magic.]
the curse gets worse
