[ Alberto listens to Bruno with full focus still, then glances to Luca deliberatively for a beat, as if to say "yeah, checks out," without so many words. Alberto hadn't really believed in ghosts before he came here, until a ghost (awkwardly) tried to drown him just a few days ago... so he's already especially inclined to question his supernatural skepticism right now. Also considering he's been spirited away to another dimension across time and space, magically learned another language without effort, and objects from Portorosso mysteriously showed up in his home, not to mention he was kidnapped by fairies, is talking to a man who can see the future, and is himself a sea monster? Alberto's in no position to play the skeptic on this. Luca knows plenty about sea monster superstitions, too, so he figures he'll trust his judgment on this?
He gives Luca the slightest twitch of a shrug and a long face to defer the call onto him and end that silent blip of a conversation, like all that goes without saying between the boys. While Alberto's become particularly close with Bruno over the past month, far more than with anyone else here, he of course still is not completely open and transparent yet — and frankly, he really isn't with anyone but... Luca... So seeing this rapport between the two of them shows another side of Alberto, already obviously happier and more at ease beside his legendary best friend. He seems to act on autopilot with him now, even slightly more humble than usual perhaps, the two communicating so much this whole time with so many little looks. They just feed into each other's inquisitive energy, to boot, which is probably a sweet dynamic to see in person at last but — yeahhhh, overwhelming, very. Luca lives up to the hype Alberto's built, and now the hype is... here. With Alberto, who is now extra hyped. Tagteaming Bruno in this impromptu interview from the start. Pobrecito... ]
