[ There is... an odd, slightly morbid feeling of relief towards Massimo - no matter how "ick" Della feels about fish and fish people, she never actively hunted them. (Aside from that one time with the torpedos. ONE TIME.) It was more of a "you stay in your lane and I'll stay in mine" situation. So, hey, that must've been hella more awkward for Massimo than anything Della did wrong! ... Not that it justifies her actions, but it does make her feel a little better.
But as she listens, she gets a bit thoughtful, cupping her beak before she voices her next opinion. ]
Huh...! You know, that in case, since you were the first "friendly" sea monster he ever met, and maybe the first one a lot of people have ever met... You're kinda like, their ambassador!
[ ... like he even knows what that is. She tries again. ]
Like, you represent all sea monsters! People can go "Who is the perfect example of a food sea monster?" And we're like, "Alberto!" If anyone has sea monster-related questions, we can go right to you. Cause you're the expert on them! And you're out there making a good name and example towards all sea monsters! You are living proof we can all get along!
