( Ah...a lot of it is just an expanded upon version of what he knows already. On one hand, he feels bad for prying. These are hard things to feel, and then to have to sit on them. Some of these fears aren't over. On the other, there's a lot of intimacy in knowing these things, and then in trying to assuage them as much as possible )
I know -- you know -- you aren't like a lot of other people. That's...not a bad thing. ( At least, Emil doesn't think that anymore. He squeezes Lalli's hand reassuringly, trying to face him as much as possible even with his head turned away. ) I know what you mean about getting hurt, too, but...it's also pretty normal when you care about someone, right? If something happened to you, it would be -- hard.
( There's not an emotional capacity within him to describe that feeling. Something beyond just a random magic coma; something big, irreversible, fatal. That's devastation he doesn't want to think about. Positives, positives. ) You're not going to be alone, okay?
