[Ooookay... so the poorly-timed magic lesson is going great. Emil can't help but give him a look for that first stellar piece of advice - just try? He's Just Tried plenty of things in his life and been a middle of the road failure at all of them, so maybe not Just Try...
The rest doesn't seem to be working well, either, if the continued look of vague confusion and frustration on his face is anything to go by. He knows Lalli is simply magic as a person, of course this is easy for him, but Emil... isn't. He is just not, so whimsical concepts like "feel it" do nothing for him. What is he supposed to feel? Currently, he feels Lalli fixing his hair, and that's nice but it's no gemstone magic!!
The Jewel is just a rock he carries around, as far as he's concerned. It's not like anyone treats him specially for having one! Hmph.
Also they are still in a room full of screaming children, so after he tries- and he does honestly try to think about nothing but magic- he gives up and waves a hand vaguely to indicate The Noise.]
I can't work like this! Next time I'm just going to bring earplugs.
[......hmm, that said,] Thank you for trying to help.
