[ Alberto bristles at Katsuki's question, but doesn't budge from his place as food dispenser, though he throws a hot-tempered pout at the back of Katsuki's head. ]
No, I brought lots of food...
[ But soon enough they're off, and as they're pulled into motion, Alberto jolts forward slightly in his seat. The monkey gets nervous that he's taking the food away, and so grabs onto his hand with both its little monkey hands desperately, leaning in to eat directly out of his palm with urgency, while the chicken on the other side of him gets startled and starts flapping about a bit. Alberto throws Luca a comedically weary look, letting out a long, deep, withering sigh for effect. He's so glad Luca's here right now... Always, of course, but especially right now. Who knows what Alberto'd do to this monkey if he didn't have Luca's calming presence by his side... He may not have any wild magic powers like Katsuki's, but he can still be a little, uh— explosive. ]
So, what're we gonna do about the demon things, eh? We've gotta fight 'em off, right? That's the whole deal?
[ This monkey isn't much gaining his loyalty, but he's here to protect it and that's what he's gonna do, man. Maybe he's not so useful without any wild magic powers, but... he brought a baseball bat? And some kitchen knives? And fishing nets! And, uh, a hammer. He brought... a lot of "weapons." As many as he could find in their apartment — which is a lot, with a creative eye and a point to prove. He felt so useless on Bruno's rescue mission in October, compared to Isabela whipping around all her vines and cacti to fight off the demons there. Katsuki's taught him a lot about fighting since then, and he's determined to be less of a burden on this mission. Thusly, he brought a hammer. He'll do what he can, man... ]
