❰ emil has absolutely heard that lalli's looking for onni. the finn's been in and out, probably updating emil periodically (in passing, with very little care for detail) about the continued lack of any sign of his cousin.
finally, he went to honir. about twenty minutes after he left, emil gets a text. ❱
( The sudden lack of Onni's presence isn't initially concerning to Emil. He's not a pressing figure in his day to day life, and what interactions they have had were taut and somewhat awkward. Still, Lalli's insistence on finding him makes sense. That's his family. Even if he's just holing up in Heimdall for whatever reason, it's not off base in Emil's mind to worry about his whereabouts. Especially considering...well, everything.
Even with his own lack of direct investment, it still hits home that there's a confirmation that he's just...gone. Not there anymore, whatever that may mean. More than that, his chest fills with a tightness for his friend, losing the presence of one of his two remaining family members. Even if he wasn't close to Onni at all, that's pain enough. )
I'm sorry. I'm here for whatever you need. Talking, anything
❰ he doesn't know what he needs. why does it always have to be about what he needs? he knows what he wants (for onni not to have left), and he knows what he's going to do. ❱
going for a run
❰ he almost said 'going scouting' but he knows he won't get any real scouting done, whether or not it's the woods he's running through.
he just knows he can't be around emil right now. not before he's sorted himself out, put himself back in order. emil has this wonderful, terrible way of trying to help that works alarmingly well half of the time and fails spectacularly the other half, and lalli doesn't quite have it in him to risk the latter until after his mind and body are both quite a bit more tired and still than they are right now. ❱
( It's a smart bet to hedge, in all honesty. Emil looks at the message, stopping in the middle of sketching woodworking ideas to go over the six simple words a few times. In all honesty, he doesn't know what to do in this situation. Sometimes it's useful to think about what he'd do if he were in a particular position, but even that is unfathomable. What he'd need if someone like...say Klaus just magically vanished, he wouldn't know. Time, space, a shoulder to lean on. All of those things? )
Okay. I'm at the house.
( In the instance that Lalli does need him for something, barring the situation in which he has to go fetch him in the wilderness, there's some simple information of where he'll be. For now, it's easier to focus his uncertainty and internal frustration on trying to figure out how to build a bed if Lalli doesn't immediately require his presence, and not why or how Onni could vanish into thin air. )
