[ Alberto grins as soon as he sees Tsuna move forward, but after a beat disguises it with that characteristic nonchalance again. ]
Great! I mean— fine, whatever. Now stop that weird human thing with your arms. Just move. Let your arms hang at your side and rely on your tail. Watch me.
[ Alberto zips in front of Tsuna, doing figure eights around and before him, but he's purposefully drawing attention to his butt tail and hips as he moves, keeping all four of his limbs straight but loose, his tail swishing side-to-side, but he starts to mimic how he imagines Tsuna must have to move with his weird fish tail, and takes a short dive, kicking his lower back up and down with legs pressed together, as if they were they same shape. And actually... it's a fairly good demonstration, finally, perhaps. He descends not far at all, but he's got his own intuition on how a mermaid might move, not having met one, but having met lots of kinds of fish and other sea animals. The standstill kicking in his descent is on point, even if his tail is still swishing side-to-side to keep himself moving forward. He's glancing over his shoulder after a second, before finally flipping back onto his back to observe Tsuna following him, hopefully. ]
Think like a fish, ragazzo! You've got this!
[ His instruction is slightly improving with each moment... At least he's as encouraging as he is snide and odd. ]
