[ Alberto follows Luca's lead on this, the two in silent agreement that this is their cue. He puts his hand on Luca's shoulder, gives the guy a salute, and turns on his heel jauntily to lead them away. ]
Yeah. Ciao, Mr Manager~
[ The manager stares after them for a second, baffled even more. He just got— saluted...? He awkwardly salutes them back, before heading off finally to his lunch break. ]
Uhh— Happy to help? C-Ciao...
[ Alberto leads them back through the fishing section, crossing under the aquarium archway with wandering eyes, though he keeps his hand on Luca's shoulder still. ]
Okay, so. That explains that. Kind of... Hah.
[ He throws Luca a knowing smirk and a little roll of his eyes. Humans' relationship to fish is just really weird, more and more... He can't say he gets it, but. Well. They wanted answers, they got an answer. ]
C'mon. Let's go buy stuff.
[ Because "buying stuff" is a general activity, y'know. An important traditional human hobby. And always exciting for Alberto. For as much as Alberto likes saving money for their Vespa, he also likes spending money... And hey, it's his birthday! They can go shopping. They're "rich," as far as they think, so he figures they can spare it every now and again. And now that he knows they've got to wait until his next birthday til Bruno helps them buy their Vespa, they've got another whole year to keep saving, so— who gives a clam.
Not to mention the energy drink kicking in will probably hamper some already poor impulse control in him... Thank goodness Luca's here to keep Alberto at least a little bit in check, birthday boy or not. They don't need one of everything in the sporting goods store. ]
