( The plan was to fitfully sleep through the night,but his (horrible and lumpy) bed isn't the most comfortable place to sleep. Emil had started out on his back but eventually rolled over in his sleep, right on his still throbbing nose. That'll wake you right up.

It's dark outside, but Emil can't immediately identify the time. Peering at his bedside clock...wow it's late or early, depending on your perspective. Which also means Lalli is still awake, roaming around somewhere or preparing another nest...or he's in The Bone Zone™ again somewhere. Either way, he's still up and right now that actually makes Emil a little nervous.

If you wanted proof he can use his communication device, here it is...although it takes him a hot minute to figure out how to start your own text instead of just replying to one. )

Lalli. areyou okay?

( If this is strangely mysterious or ominous...oops! )

( Well. His mission was somehow successful. Despite the fact that it was humiliating and people ended up knowing he was in that stupid costume, Emil was determined to receive his reward. To take back that stupid suit and make the whole thing worthwhile.

It had been days -- longer than he knew other Naan requests had been, but he'd been told explicitly from the jump: this is a more cumbersome request, so come back in a little while. By now it's been a little while (or at least how long a little while should take based on Emil's impatience). Time to go forth and receive the fruits of his labor.

Emil sets out from Cypress right after he's done eating a meager breakfast. The cold is beginning to lift; the heat causing a foggy mist to form around town at about waist-height. Other patches are a little bit higher. The prickling heat tickles his nose a little, but damn it. He's going to see this thing through. It's not like fog is a foreign concept to the Swedes.

Naan has what he's requested, thank goodness. A few harsh words are thrown at him, and Emil receives some playful taunts back. Whatever; he's got the book and he's going home.

...Except it might be early enough that Lalli's only just slunk back to his tree group. He made a fool out of himself and then had to wait for days to finally receive his item. An excited rush goes through his body knowing he can immediately show off that he did pretty damn good despite...you know.

The knock on Birch 201's door is very excitable and rapid. Sorry if any roommates are present, he's a giddy boy...with a mysteriously itchy forearm, but the long sleeve of his sweater is hiding that warning sign for now. )
