[ Alberto keeps beaming at Luca's reactions, so unaccustomed to gift-giving and tickled that he's getting it right. Not to mention he just enjoys seeing Luca so happy. "The green will match my scales" gives him a particular kick, and he's not sure why he's so endeared that that's the first comment Luca makes. Before school starts back up, he'll definitely make a point to show Luca the cool store he found, something akin to a Lush — even though they can't exactly enjoy all the demos in-store...
Alberto opens his next gift carefully, this one being so much smaller. When he sees the necklace, his grin melts into a self-effacing pout, moved with emotion at how pretty it is, stars in his eyes to match. He turns to Luca with a verklempt smile. ]
Luca... It's so pretty. Thank you.
[ He puts it on right away, then crawls over to give Luca a quick hug. Alberto doesn't have any jewelry, surprisingly having not traipsed into that element of human fashion yet, so this may be opening a new door for a spell — just another phase to go through, another fun fixation exploring new human stuff, and yet another way to decorate himself... But one thing's for sure, he's putting this necklace on only once, because he's never taking it off now. Which will make it very hard to figure out that the necklace has any correlation to his singing improving, or any correlation to his eventual bovine fanclub... In all likelihood, they'll never connect the dots. Oh well — it's magic all on its own to Alberto, just because Luca gave it to him.
He flashes Luca another smile for a second, before grabbing a third gift and handing it over. He's gone with a bathtime theme, here, apparently, because inside Luca will find a floating star projector, with features both to light up the water and to cast lights onto the ceiling above, even to change the colors. Luca's baths are being elevated to a whole other level from now on. The new year just got a lot bougier for them. ]
