[ Alberto smiles back, noting Asriel's little tail wagging as he shuts the door behind him. Cute. Alberto misses having a tail sometimes — not that his own tail is gone or anything, and he can always just go get a little wet if he really wants to see it. He can always feel it regardless, after all. He's gotten used to the feeling of "phantom tail," though, as he calls it... It's a weird feeling to dwell on, and again makes him vaguely wonder what Asriel would look like if he could make the Change and look human, too. It's a weird relief knowing someone with a tail... Who knows why that's comforting.

The young monster shrugs and returns to his spot on the bed, plopping down gracelessly with a soft "oomph." He does at least turn to rest on his side to face Asriel though, as he gets comfortable again, propping himself on his elbow with his cheek cupped in his hand, the image of laziness comfort. He gestures loosely with his free hand toward the chaise lounge or the desk chair nearby it, motioning for Asriel to take a seat. ]

Yeah, of course — you can always come over any time.

[ Something vague in the way he says this makes it sound, if Asriel can pick up on it through the airs he always puts on, that Alberto might be actually a bit extra eager for company, before he continues laughingly. ]

I, uh— I put Sofia away before you came over. Sooo, if you need to go to the bathroom, uh— don't?

[ guhirdjfk he's joking, he's joking, signature smirk in place as he waves a nonchalant hand toward the shut bathroom door at the end of his bed. Always trying to make things seem lighthearted, this one.

...But no, really, there's a tiny cranky dinosaur trapped in there, even crankier that she's been trapped. Don't go in there unannounced. Ahem. ]
