Am I doing it right? Is it rec-oh! It is! Hi! You missed me, leave a message!

[schoolingfish]

Okay!

[When he arrives, he'll find Luca waiting at the entrance for him.]

[whatsamada]

[By the time Luca arrives at the entrance, he'll happen to see one young teenager standing awkwardly with a present in his hands. Mumbling to himself, it seemed like he was waiting for someone. When he spotted someone standing at the entrance, he raised an eyebrow.]

I'm sorry, you must be Luca right? I wasn't sure what you like but I hope you enjoy it.

[That said, when Ken gave him the gift, he would find it being wrapped in wrapping paper. Should he open it, it would be books about adventure and space related things.]

[schoolingfish]

Yeah!

[He takes the present, unwrapping it, and when he sees what it is...a huge grin spreads across his face.]

Thanks! I can already tell I'll love these!

[Mostly because space and going on adventures is right up Luca's alley.]

[whatsamada]

[With that, he gave a sigh of relief. The last thing he wanted was to make him upset or face the wrath of Alberto.]

That's great because I wasn't sure! Although, Alberto did already tell me that you would like these anyway...

[schoolingfish]

Yeah, he knows me really well so you can definitely trust his judgement on stuff like that!

[Although it really doesn't take knowing Luca that well to know how much he loves space.]

[whatsamada]

Then I hope so!

[With that said, there was a mumble or two coming from his end. How does he continue with this conversation?]

So uh...care to tell me a little bit of what your world is like? I know he told me that it was a small town?

[schoolingfish]

Um...yeah. I do.

[Looking strangely like a deer caught in the headlights for someone asked such an innocuous question.]

Um...it's a town. In Italy. We have pasta. And bikes. Just normal town stuff.

[whatsamada]

[And there, Ken wondered if he should continue this conversation if it bothered Luca. And yet...?]

Normal town stuff?

[Which seems like an odd thing to say for such a normal town.]

[schoolingfish]

Yeah, you know. Roads. Fountains. Houses. That kind of thing.

[whatsamada]

[....]

Anything else outside of that?

[schoolingfish]

Uh...we do a lot of fishing?

[whatsamada]

[Does he dare keep pushing this? Hm...]

I see. Then I can tell it isn't too different from where I am from. While I do live in a small city, it seems there are some similarities. Especially regarding it being a port.

[Maybe he can go from there....??]

[schoolingfish]

Oh, you live by a port, too? What kinds of sea life do you have near you? Anything interesting?

[If this guy has sea monsters too, then maybe he can feel out what Ken thinks of them.]

[whatsamada]

Not really, more like the typical things you see? Fish, shrimp, and the occasional spotting of a shark we have to be careful of.

[Then there was a pause. Should he dare bring up what he deals with back home?]

...Although, where I'm from, the sea life isn't all that interesting. It's more about how you have to be careful about staying out late at night. You don't want to deal shadows.

[schoolingfish]

Shadows? Why? What's in the shadows?

[whatsamada]

[There was a pause.]

...Are you sure you want to know? My world can be a little difficult to explain? If I have to be honest, I really don't want to scare you.

[schoolingfish]

I won't be scared.

[He might not be correct about that, but now he's curious and wants to know. Besides, his world has scary things, too, but he doesn't want to admit that considering the fact that he doesn't want to admit to being a sea monster yet.]
