[ While Luca splashing around screaming in the water didn't really attract much attention from other beachgoers, seeing as (unbeknownst to the boys) the general populace here can't actually see anything non-human about them, even when they've made the Change... But a young boy trying to force himself to throw up on a public beach? They can see that. And it's weird. And disconcerting. A few heads nearby turn, one girl frowning and wincing and turning back to her boyfriend looking disgusted. Alberto notices this, and it just heightens his panic.
He finishes filling up their bag, packing up their stuff just minutes after they'd settled down. He slings it over his shoulder with a furtive glance around, grabbing Luca's shoulders again and ushering him away from the crowds. ]
C'mon, Luca, this way. There's that cove over there — let's hide there, we need to talk about this in private.
[ Alberto knows there's a little spot not far down the shore where most humans dillydallying on the beach wouldn't bother with — too rocky, too many waves, too precarious to climb around to get to it... But the little alcove would be perfect for now. Just a quiet, tucked away space, still near the water, where they can put their heads together and figure out what the shell is going on... and more importantly, what to do. ]
