[ ...Meeting Alberto is an adventure unto itself, this is typically true. But she's caught him on, ahem, an off day — w-waking up in some magical maze-y nightmare world hasn't exactly put him on his best game. But normally he knows he's a delight, totally agreed, so he waits for some clever quip to fall out of his mouth. But nothing comes. She just hangs there, he just stands there, listening to her chatter excitedly but not exactly sharing in it just yet. He stares her down, face flabbergasted and frozen still, taking this moment to recollect himself and inspect the girl-bird at hand... But, even with the very touching and not-at-all-intense-for-a-stranger things she has to say, Alberto still finds himself a little— distracted... ]

...Hey, can ya[ He lets out a couple sharp, short little whistles ] Y'know, real quick?

[ He flips his hand around in a little spiral as he whistles, waving it at her face and her feet, trying to "politely" indicate for her to get herself upright somehow...? There's something that makes this experience, which is already A Lot, just a lot more A Lot, when half the conversation is happening upside-down, hanging by one leg, with high potential of a child plummeting headfirst out of a tree...

...like that isn't something he'd totally do himself on a normal day. Stressing people out like this with all that vim and vigor...! Alberto Scorfano, meet your match. ]
