In the seconds it took the branch to break and gravity to take over, Webby could have gone through a number of moves her Granny taught her about safe landings... but she'd only been taught how to protect herself. With Alberto still in the way, she couldn't guarantee any of those moves wouldn't cause damage to him. And seconds pass quickly, and it's too late - THUMP.
She winces, not in pain - she's had way worse - but in preparation for things to come. Surely he's angry, furious - her need for weird has struck again, this time literally. He's going to yell at her, he's going to demand her to go away, he's going to...
... laugh?
Well. That's. Clearly not what she'd been expecting. She blinks at him, first wondering if his unusual reaction is due to a concussion, but... nope, he seems to be AOK. At least physically.
But the laughter is easing her worries, and her nervous expression easily enough melts into an embarrassed smile. Maybe it's a sea monster thing, or maybe it's a Alberto thing, but whatever it is, it's a great thing! And she winds up giggling as well, the laughter infectious. ]
Pffft.... ha ha ha ha! Why are you congratulating me?! We could have broken bones! ... Though I guess sea monster bones are made of sturdier stuff than bird bones... so if I had to fall on anyone, maybe it was best that it was you! Hahahahaha!
