[ All this gets some eager nodding along, like he's absorbing all this information like a student, high energy still kept up in the air. Alberto looks dazzled by everything Jade's saying... until he mentions looking your best and respect and all that, and Alberto's expression sours sharply — but still in a way that seems to be in agreement, receptive, just as emphatic. ]

Yeah, that's true! Humans really care about clothes! It's dumb. The first land monster me and Luca met was this really chic kinda guy, y'know the type— Ercole... [ He says the name with some amount of venom and a roll of his eyes. ] We thought he was gonna be cool, he had a cool Vespa, was a popular guy, blah blah blah... But the first thing he did was start bullying us about our clothes. And we looked fine! I found those clothes myself! We looked just like all the other land monsters! He's just a jerk — he looked like a catfish, anyway. His mustache was like two sad little whiskers~
