[ Luca's eager agreement puts a grin on Alberto's face, and he claps him on the back as he starts trotting onward. In a basket just to the edge of the fishing section, he sees some wooden hand nets — made to look to be more handcrafted-like than they actually are, to no doubt evoke some romanticized rugged exoticism, based upon the price point. It should either cost a lot less, for being as cheaply made as it is, or a lot more, if it were actually benefiting any local tradesmen — but since it's just an average, mass-produced corporate doodad meant to look chic for a fisherman's inner hipster, or a hipster's inner fisherman, it's at exactly the mid-level price point it doesn't deserve. Too expensive for what it is but less expensive than what it's trying to be. Not that Alberto knows any better. He grabs four on their way past. So they can... go trout fishing with at least two friends?
As he grabs them, he feels that Monster finally take effect, like a subtle jolt of lightning, a pleasant shiver up his spine, that subsides as suddenly as it came. It's this exact moment that's the Point of No Return for Alberto's first experience with energy drinks. What's more, they still have a bag full of more tucked under the crook of Alberto's elbow. But indeed, a switch just flipped on some level... Took longer for the switch to flip than it did when they first tried espresso, but considering just how much espresso Alberto's since come to consume on a near daily basis... that checks out.
He spots a shopping cart corral up ahead, and waving Luca along excitedly, runs up to grab one. He tosses their plastic bag from the corner store and the four hand nets he'd just grabbed all into the trolly together rather carelessly — in fact, almost pointedly, like making the least impressive slam dunk ever... He spins the shopping cart round to face the openness of the store, leaning on its handlebars with one foot propped up on the bottom rung, idly making it do a tiny wheelie as they look on at the expanse of treasures before them. All at once, he's forebodingly excited... He pauses for a beat, letting a low whistle of appreciation out, before turning to Luca with a grin from the side. ]
Sooo, you miiight've picked the coolest store ever? Next to the Home Depot. Maybe — hah! Dai, avanti. What should we buy~?
