[ Alberto starts slightly at the question, his nonchalant act almost instantly faltering. But he doubles down, shifting to sit more comfortably on the floor, though he stays sprawled out, propping himself up by his elbow with his chin in his hand. ]
Ohhh... Uh. I had— company. And the glass broke. Watch your feet, okay? Oh, hey, look!
[ On a hairpin turn, he suddenly shoots up, sitting upright with his legs crossed, and sticks his arm out to show Luca the lack of scrapes and scratches and bites. ]
Amazing, right? I'm healed! It's magic! I met a cool magic guy online, he came over and healed me. August? He can talk to birds and he's a psychic fortune teller, too — he knew my name before I even said it! Che forza, eh?
[ Distracting from whatever issue is clearly at hand here... But he's not gonna open with "hey, someone figured out we're sea monsters, welcome home." He'll at least let Luca get inside and sit down for this. He's eating himself inside. He's been dreading this talk with Luca ever since Katsuki left. He knows he's the one who messed up here on some level, deep down. So they'll just... ease into it. If only for his sake. ]
