[Oh my god, Lalli!! This suddenly more serious reaction surprises him, and he almost leans away a little-- what is the big deal? Clearly only one of them thinks that all problems must be solved with magic, and that one is not Emil.]
I— okay? I know!
[He could take a proper class, probably, for idiots who can't do magic...? But that would require being in a class, his biggest fear, and the feeling of dread he gets at the very thought of being in a class is far worse than the one for, like. Doing spooky magic.
But right now, he can't do anything, and it would be great if Lalli would just-- calm down about it for the rest of the day.]
I'll do it, alright? But you can't get mad if it takes me a while, because I'm not like you. Still— I promise I'll do it.
[They're in a room full of kids, and perhaps having that on the brain is part of why Emil lifts a hand to wiggle his pinky at Lalli expectantly, like the child he himself is. Come here and pinky promise with him, grumpy. That's how you know he's serious.]
