Lalli is flawed. Not in a good way, not the fun dangerous way. Maybe there's a bit of that in there too somewhere, but that's not what you're seeing. He's a big strong man, looks good, is reliable on the field, and is one of the few men you can really consider out of those you've met, but he's just so cold, and distant. Whatever pleasant side he has, he's really hesitant to show you. Or even afraid to show you. This whole considering him thing just comes up because, well, possibly...
No, this isn't your last time speaking with him. You'll live. You'll cut down that damn tree. Maybe you'll take him, Sigrun, and Saemus out for a treat, get the crew back together. Find some well-deserving freaks and monsters and show them what for.
Yeah. That would be nice.
"Is there a reason you're asking?" He asks out of the blue with an incredulous raised brow.
You jump out of your inner monologue like a startled cat, and fumble your words. "Oh, no! Well, yes. I was just... well, finding someone can't take all that long, can it?"
The man does not reply.
"I mean, it must have been like you weren't looking, at least not the <span class="mu-i">whole</span> time..."
He does not so much as blink.
"I was hoping that, for me, I wouldn't have so much trouble that it would take me more than... a few..."
Lalli ogles you disconcertingly.
You're a real dumbass, you know that? "So we're back to work the day after tomorrow, right?"
"I've heard nothing of that," he answers immediately.
"Oh. Right. I thought..." He probably hates you. "I'll see you later, then."
With a light tilt of the head his only response, Kiikoinen sips from the bottled soup, and returns to his peaceful rumination. The gentle tide fades as you step away, and the clouds retake the sky, casting the city in a gray gloom.
The Stormdrains seem more colorful than than the surface right now.
