[Luca's mind is buzzing with a million questions, frantically trying to construct scenarios that could lead to someone living inside the walls of their own home, but no. Bruno is asking them to not talk about this one, but the sheer willpower it takes for Luca to stop asking questions is incredible.]
Okay.
[He says this, then goes completely silent. He'd say something else, change the subject, but the only thing he can think about are all his questions that he's not supposed to ask. Luca's grateful when Alberto indicates that they should go set the table, and he follows him quickly, getting a couple of plates to set out for them. Still in silence, which means that even though he has something to do to distract him, it's still impossible to keep his mind from wandering back to the thoughts from before. At least Alberto put some music on, though. Music at least makes the quiet less unbearable.]
So...um...
[Why is it so hard to think of anything other than 'living in the walls for ten years' now that he's not supposed to be talking about that? Oh! Alberto's food!]
So have you ever had Alberto's cooking before?
[Did he already have the answer to this? He might have been told this already, but he doesn't care.]
no subject
