[ Alberto all but slams his espresso cup down on the desktop, a few drops escaping in the upset, as he jumps to his feet. A wide grin spreads over his face, eyes absolutely fixed on Jade in his seat, a certain heat and intensity and sparkle about his gaze suddenly. He claps his hands excitedly and then finger-guns points to Jade with both hands, like an epiphany struck. Almost on cue, in time, the quiet pop song ends, and the energy takes a steep boost along with Alberto. ]
Hah! So you get it! You make the Change, too! You're a sea monster~!
[ He rubs his palms together, grin turning into an excited smirk, tapping his bare feet a bit in anticipation, already feeling the espresso, his tiny cup half-empty by now. He's got a little fourteen-year-old body and he's a noodle, okay. ]
Okay, okay, show me the anti-water clothes you brought! Let's do this!
[ Cutting right to the chase. There... wasn't much need to redirect the conversation after all. Alberto did it himself, big reveal, however anti-climactic and conversational. ]
