[ Alberto barks a laugh at that, sliding a little further down into the waters of the tub comfortably as it fills up more. ]

Hah! You're right. And I don't want to cook for it! Perfetta~

[ He sticks a finned foot out of the water and uses it (with a couple clumsy, slippery tries) to turn off the faucet. He wiggles to get comfortable, adjusting his tail, and looks to Luca with a lazy smile after a beat. ]

So how was your day, Luca...? Assuming it was better than mine. Hah. D'you go to the practice school again?

[ Cuz that's what summer school is for, right, practicing to go to school for real...? As far as Alberto's concerned, it must be. At least for kids like them. ]
