[ He just assumes. He shouldn't assume. But he's trying to defuse this increasingly emotional dialogue cuz, while it's clear Asriel is more comfortable with that sort of thing, that's very much not Alberto's jam, for as emotional as he also obviously is. Shrug it off, shrug it off. An emphatic wave of the hand can wave away so much. ]
Hey— If me, you, Chara, Luca and Frisk are ever here all together, we'll have a feast, okay? Antipasti, trenette al pesto, branzino, cinnamon butterscotch pie, gelato, espresso — everything! All right~?
[ Hopefulness is how Alberto defuses everything, indeed — plans and wishes and pipe dreams — even if it's avoidant, even if it's painful. That's how he's always survived. Hoping against hope. If that ends in pie and gelato and espresso... not such a bad pipe dream, this time around. ]
