Ah, see, Signora, we didn't use worms. We were catching hundreds of fish, y'know, to sell for the pescheria. So we used casting nets, not fishing poles. Plus Massimo only had one arm, so—

[ He tucks his left arm behind his back and waves his elbow at her. ]

Even more impressive, ha! But he could fish with a pole, too! Just not as easily. But Massimo could do anything — and he's the best cook ever. I mean— It doesn't heal your body, but, other than that, ha. Best human food ever.

[ Alberto prattles on happily beside her. It's clear, the more time they spend together, why Bruno took a shine to the kid. For all his brightness and high energy, when you get him fully in the spotlight for a moment, he just seems... lonely. Eager to have someone, anyone, but especially an adult, take interest in him and listen to him chat at length. That's all he ever had to do growing up with his dad, who ran out of patience for it; and something he never did with Massimo. It's no wonder Bruno must have seen right through him like this...

Wait, did he say "human food?" Wha—? ...Weird kid. Sweet, lonely, weird kid. ]

[Sweet, lonely, weird kid. Just like Bruno when they were little.

The lonely weirdos of any age need to stick together. She's sticking with her brother now like she should have all along.

She'll stick with Alberto too.

She smiles fondly at his exuberance. The way he lights up when he speaks of Massimo.]

That is very impressive, si. This Massimo... he sounds like an impressive man. One who didn't let anything stop him from the sound of it. I think that is a very noble quality to have.

[ Alberto beams at her, fancying himself similarly someone who doesn't let anything stop him — or at least he'd like to be... And it's most definitely an accurate way to describe Massimo, in Alberto's eyes, who still sits on such a high pedestal even without having seen him for so long. As far as Alberto's concerned, as long as Massimo talks, he only has noble qualities... He wouldn't even mind the rules so much if he just, y'know, said something. But knowing they're over that now — that if and when he goes home, he'll have conversation to look forward to... Like this. Like he has with Pepa and Bruno. ...If and when he goes home, yeah. He gives Pepa's hand a little squeeze, his smile still turned on her — just something a little softer in his eyes now. ]

Yeah. For sure.
