[It's not directed at Onni so much as to the universe at large. Lalli knows well enough to begin to figure out that something doesn't make sense. He can see and hear the movement, but he can't feel it--can't feel the wrongness that always comes from something twisted by the rash.
And Onni is a much stronger mage than he is, and if Onni thinks there's nothing there, then...
Lalli squeezes his eyes shut and covers his ears in a familiar motion, but this time it isn't because he's overwhelmed; something is lying to him, and it might well be his own senses. He has to shut out the distraction. It leaves him--leaves the both of them--vulnerable, but it lets him focus on his spiritual sense, lets him feel out around himself.
And he finds nothing. His face crumples in confusion, eyes still closed.]
