[Ken stared at the screen as he was trying to process what he read. There was a word for this kind of behavior. He heard it a little bit back when he was in Japan but now, he was hearing it a little more often in high school. He knew it was a Japanese word but as he's hearing it more in America? He almost wanted to blurt it out.

But instead, he'll keep it to himself. That and he's pretty sure Alberto might not know what tsundere means.]

Then I guess I can give Luca some stationary as a birthday present? I never met him so I don't really know what he likes.

omg Alberto is def some subtype of tsundere, the truth

[prontissimo]

Uhm well he doesn't really write a lot of letters anymore, since we live together now... He likes books though. You seem like you probably like books too. Maybe one of those?

[ "One of those..." Telling him to get— a book... No indication of subject or topic or genre or anything... Clearly, Alberto does not like books, himself, if he can lump them all collectively together like that. But that surely comes as no surprise, from the impression he's already made on Ken. ]

Ken knows well lmao

[whatsamada]

That's fine but what kind? Does he like comic books, manga, drawing? Or books about adventure?

[Because that is so vague! All Ken could do was make guesses on what kind of books Luca might like!]

[prontissimo]

YES he likes all those! 🤠

[ That's... not helpful. But it is true. They've never read comic books, but Alberto knows what they are; Luca likes manga and anime from having gone to the convention over the summer; they both love drawing. Above all they love adventures... None of those suggestions could go wrong. But it gives Ken still zero direction, unfortunately. Alberto's new at gift-giving... ]

[whatsamada]

I see.

Anything else?

[Again, it was all vague but hopefully he'll get some more information??]

[prontissimo]

Uhm he likes outer space. adventures. school. making stuff. playing sports. the ocean. scary movies. Luca likes all kinds of stuff!

[whatsamada]

That should make it easier.

From the sound of it, it seems like he's someone who likes to be adventurous.

[prontissimo]
