[He won't laugh. Not because he never laughs- even if it is actually really hard to get even a snort from him- but because this is so sincere and touching that Lalli can't possibly make fun of it.
Lalli looks at Riku for a moment, clearly surprised by this. But then he carefully opens the wrapped present, trying his best not to rip the wrapping too much.
And then he sees the blanket and. Immediately puts it on, complete with the hood going over his head.]
...thanks.
[Thank god this is happening during emotionshare week, so Riku can actually feel how much Lalli means that 'thanks'. Bad with words, overwhelmed with feelings, but he now feels safe while wrapped in that blanket.
It's his new favorite thing. He's never taking it off.]
[Lalli is cute. Relief rocks quietly under the surface of Riku's feelings. He didn't think it was terribly, but he was a little worried Lalli wouldn't know what to do with it.
But Lalli likes being under the bed, and Lalli likes cats (and acts like one), so he made his best guess.]
No problem.
[Taking the hood by both ears, he gently straightens it on Lalli's head. There.]
Better watch out. You won't ever get rid of Kissa now. She'll be sleeping on you all the time in that thing.
[It is straightened on his head, and the ears flop down in a way that is absolutely adorable.
Suddenly Lalli feels a little shy, because Riku is right there and it makes Lalli feel seen. The shyness and appreciation are all churning in him and making him feel antsy.]
She will have to fight for her space, because I'm going to keep it wrapped around me.
[He's telling the truth too, he's not letting go of this thing anytime soon.]

This makes him chuckle some. But after that, he lets Lalli be Lalli in the hooded blanket.]
She might do that.
[He's feeling a bit shy, too. Mostly because they can all share feelings. GOD.]
I'm glad you like it.

[Lalli's never been that great at words, but at least his emotions show that he's being genuine.]
You should eat too.
no subject
I will. Eat your, uh... lamb chops [this sounds laughing in an endeared way] and cake. I'll try some too.
[He will try some of the cake!! Good god it's chocolatey.]
no subject
Good. Food's best when it's shared.
[Shared with specific people, but Lalli's not saying that part. Not many people get that courtesy, usually he's stealing food from others.]
