[ Alberto's face falls at the question. He... hadn't thought of that. Could August tell he wasn't human, just by having done his magic on him...? Alberto forces a breath of a chuckle out in spite of himself, bracing himself inwardly. ]
Um, ha, I-I don't think so? Not that he let on, at least. But, um— that brings me to the glass...
[ Oh. Oh, no. There's something extremely foreboding in the way he segued there... He rises to his feet, turning to face Luca with a nervous smile on his face, as the feigned nonchalance begins to shed away. He abruptly lifts his shirt (a navy shirt that reads "CRABULOUS" with a trail of little red embroidered crabs, a topically nautical prized thrift store find, just to make matters worse; not like that adds suspicion at all, right) and exposes his chest to Luca — aaalso totally normalll...? ]
See? Bruise is gone, too. Um— ...Luca, weird question, hah, but— can you show me your belly? Does it look perfect like mine, or do you have a hole in it...?
[ He points first to his side, where the bruise had been, which is now completely healed, but what he really means to show off here is his smooth and unscarred belly... He points to his own first, then to Luca's, meeting his eye with an uncharacteristic hint of worry in his gaze. He's seen Luca shirtless plenty; he already knows the answer. But maybe he's overlooked Luca's bellybutton, it's possible, it's not like Alberto's ever looked for it, since he... didn't know what a bellybutton was... He just wants confirmation on this before he lets the truth out. If Luca has a bellybutton, then they might be in the clear — well, sort of — but... Alberto's fairly sure he doesn't, either... ]
