[ Alberto scolds, a wry smirk growing on his face, then beckons Tsuna further in once he sees the farmers take off in the direction the boys had come. He waves Tsuna along then to exit the kelp a ways down, entering the path and heading toward the little village in the distance. The farmers are far enough behind them now to be out of earshot and distracted by their search; Alberto even checks over his shoulder to see they've returned to work without much further question, not even noticing the boys snuck in through their field. Success. He relaxes right away then, swimming along comfortably as if strolling down a lane, like it's the most natural thing in the world, feigning confidence — but it's not really that much of an act. It really does seem like he's familiar with this place, even though it's entirely foreign to him in reality. ]
C'mon, Tsuna~ I wanna check out the sea monster village! If they saw us, they'd definitely stop us to ask questions. We're strangers here — and kids. In a place like this, everyone probably knows everyone, heh... Typical sea monster town~ ...Oooh, look, I see some homes! I just wanna see — real quick! Just follow my lead, okay?
[ None of that is comforting. He swims a little faster, tail whipping fluidly, as they reach a pocket of apparent dwellings, little more than a few caves, some hiding spots tucked away behind large rocks, some vaguely constructed little dwellings made from what seem to be firm mud bricks, not unlike igloos. It's interesting for Alberto to see the difference between homes in the bottom of a lake versus homes in the bottom of the sea. Definitely strange to him. He's gawking all over, an enchanted, wide-eyed smile stuck on his face now. How's he so brazen and at ease? He doesn't seem to be from here, from what he says, but... acts like he knows exactly what he's doing. ]
