Yeah, I'm Luca! I just showed up a couple of days ago, so I haven't been here too long.

[Yep, two days without any interaction with any adults. No big.]

Oh, and what's your name? Alberto told me all about you but he didn't say your name.

[But Luca does want this guy to know that Alberto was talking about him (and very enthusiastically so at that) so he doesn't think that Alberto just didn't care or something. Especially after Alberto did so much to make it clear that this guy was a very good friend of his. It's just that Alberto forgot to mention his name. Then, finally noticing the small animals on the man's shoulders, Luca lights up.]

Oh! What are those? They're cute! Are they your pets?

[Because growing up in the sea and being very new to land, Luca's never learned what a rat is.]
