( His hand being sniffed is somewhat...strange...but no other bad action comes from it, so all seems to be right with the world again. Lalli is definitely not the one who should be worrying about bad hygiene habits in this relationship. Is he taking advantage of this wonderful indoor plumbing for bathing with? Inquiring Emils would like to know. )
I have no idea what you just said, but I think it was good? ( Emil isn't totally sure what the hand sniff meant, still, though he's 100% sure he doesn't smell in any way offensive. He cups his other hand on top of Lalli's, sandwiching it. If this is another directive, he's totally missing what he's supposed to be doing. )
[Mostly, yes. Not...in the past few days, really, so. Oops. These cuddles have probably not be top quality. In general, though, not rooming with Emil means that he's had to take time to pay attention to it for himself, and the wide variety of scents available to him has greatly helped the situation.
...Emil what are you doing...]
Um...
[Well. He can't complain. With a hum, he'll just go ahead and stack his other hand on top of all that, then shift to face him more.]
( His bathroom break seems to have thrown off their groove...maybe? Lalli mimics the action, so maybe that means that's what he was supposed to do? )
Is this some...Finnish tradition? ( Like...joining of hands as a symbol of forgiveness?? This kind of shit is totally lost on him. Whatever the next step is needs to be explained to him, or he's going to fuck this up again somehow.
The stare he gives Lalli is very intense and expectant; he's not willing to make any sudden moves and slide back into angry territory again. ) What do I do now?
( Okay, so maybe that wasn't the right thing to do...god this is so mysterious. You're an enigma, Lalli Hotakainen. Emil removes both of his hands from their little stack and sighs. How does he restablish that nice moment, if possible?
...Oh, duh. He brought the damn thing in here, why not keep using it? Emil hops off the bed to retrieve his tablet, offering it to Lalli. Use...someone else's words, or something. )
[Oh, good idea. Lalli makes a small noise of acknowledgement as he takes the tablet, returning to the movie app Emil had been using before and scrolling through to try and find...something. Boy, he didn't realize how difficult this was, when Emil was the one doing it... Eventually he's just confused, and starts to skip back a few minutes to try and figure out what it was that made the characters act that way, until he finds himself close to the beginning and completely absorbed. Eyes glued to the screen, Lalli snuggles into the mattress, back against the wall, without a care for why he was handed this device in the first place.]
Oh! [Lalli gasps, eyes widening.] He shouldn't do that. She's going to be so mad...
( Success! He'll discovery whatever neurosis Lalli is exploring shortly enough. He has the tools with which to communicate somewhat well, even if it's not perfect.
Even though he'd purchased that tablet for Lalli's birthday, Emil's still not sure how adept he is at using it outside of that Hateful Dead something or other. That may explain why it's taking so long and he's reading through so much. Maybe this movie doesn't have the correct context with which to search from if it is some Finnish ritual.
He returns to the bed, peering at Lalli before going back to peering over to see what exactly his boyfriend is having trouble with...except he's not having trouble with anything, he's just totally absorbed in this movie. )
Really. ( Oh well...if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Scoot over, if this is what's happening then let him get comfortable. ) This part is ridiculous. She gets mad, and I don't even really get why.
[He adjusts easily enough, shifting to create room while tilting the screen so that he can still see it, but Emil won't have trouble, either.]
What a stupid guy. He doesn't understand her at all. [Not like Lalli, who's decided he's going to root for this person. Comfortable, he rests his cheek against Emil's shoulder. This was pretty nice, this right here... He'd have to get this app for himself, later, if Qri's blessing of translation ever came back, and if not... Well, hopefully Emil wouldn't mind huddling close together like this for movie nights, on occasion.]
( "Stupid." So Lalli agrees. Good. ) Later on she really flies off the handle. Which, I know she has some right, but can't she just talk about it instead of screaming?
( Communication is best when it isn't loud and hostile!! Despite his irritation at this movie's plot threads, the company is nice, if a bit cramped. )

That would have been really gross if you didn't wash your hands.
[Good thing his boyfriend isn't disgusting!!! Just a lizard kisser. Okay, he's only very slightly annoyed, now.]

Stop staring at me.
