Perhaps it's a good thing that Minna generally does not note fanworks, because she'd be taking notes from you and from Lazy8, for sure!

Erm... *stands there with a vague guilty expression*

Yeah. That's probably a good thing.

Yeah. That's probably a good thing.

<fangirl> Because you do this so well! *fistbump*

The only two ways that that could possibly happen are a) that Lalli goes out of his mind and tries to kill Emil outright, or b) they make it to some ruins the squiddies cannot get to for whatever reason and that aren't already occupied by other grosslings and some of the incendiaries Emil carries can be used without a bang that attracts attention to them. Without either, Emil would stand a better chance only taking his clothes off for a quick, strong wringing, I guess.

The scenario that had popped in my head was more along the lines of when they would get to camp and make sure Emil doesn't get hypothermia from falling in the water (if it happens), definitely not while they were still running from the trolls.

[Vafhudr]

Well, there goes Emil too, I guess.

[Rhynerd]

maybe if Emil can disperse his weight enough he can cross the ice and the current nasty won't be able to follow?

[Purple Wyrm]

You'd think even Emil would know to lie down flat and worm his way over the ice!

Although with a giant in hot pursuit that may not be the most appealing option.

[Lazy8]

This is the guy whose first instinct when something's after him seems to be "blindly cast about with whatever weapon he has on hand while running and screaming for Sigrun to save him". Keeping a cool head in a crisis is not exactly one of Emil's strong points.

(I also don't think there's many people who'd be able to focus on basic ice safety when up against that. If it's a choice of drowning in icy water or getting devoured by something that looks like it feeds by stabbing you and sucking out your liquefied insides... well, given a choice I'd risk the drowning.)

[Róisín]

Lazy8, I'm with you on that one!

[Solokov]

Thirded. I'd risk the ice over being in grapple range.

[Hrollo]

In the latest page, Lalli shows it is possible to have a simultaneous expression of unbreakable determination and absolute terror in one's eyes.

Uup I predict an unconscious mage coming up after his luonto is exhausted.

I also predict a sharp increase in the quantity of Emilalli fics shortly thereafter.
Heck, even I ship these two, and I usually hate shipping.

I believe you are right. Of the frozen, soaked Emil carries best friend variety?

[ZanarNaryon]

Okay, so what is Lalli doing? Unless he can unleash an attack far more powerful than anything we've seen from him before, it'll be pretty ineffective against a giant. The intention seem to be a shield, but how long could that last? I guess a good explosive thrown inside the Giants mouth could do some work?

[Róisín]

I suspect he knows that he can't kill it, so either he is about to do something extremely sideways clever, or he simply can't bear to leave Emil. Probably with "No, no, no, never again, I can't lose another person!" playing on repeat in his head. On his own he could probably have escaped.
