[ Alberto makes a comedically incredulous face at Bruno, pausing with his forkful of pasta still mid-air. ]
Bruno, thaaanks, but, uh— your sister owns a restaurant. And her food has magic healing powers...
[ He turns to Luca with a flat face to explain further, letting his wrist flop over limply, overturning his fork. A short noodle falls off carelessly, but is quickly claimed by one of the rats. ]
His sister has magic healing powers, Luca. Her cooking heals your body. And his other sister controls the weather with her feelings. Bruno's house is magic, his town is magic, his family's magic... Lotsa magic.
[ Nonchalantly, y'know. But just another easy bragging point about knowing Bruno. Alberto never knew about any real magic before coming here, so it's all still quite novel and fantastical to him, and he knows Luca will be just as impressed. However, he knows how Bruno feels about his Gift, so he doesn't outright disclose it out of consideration. But at the same time, he knows Luca: the interrogation is probably about to begin. ]
