[ Alberto's delighted seeing Asriel approach the edge and disappear again, knowing what that means — or at least hoping he knows what that means... and as the other boy backs up, steels himself, and disembarks into thin air in a literal leap of faith, Alberto's tickled pink he was right that he's in like company. His eyes follow Asriel as he falls, and the Cliff Beast's other hand catches the prince. Alberto laughs from his hand nearby, and rushes over to the base of the hand he's in, grinning widely still. ]
Okay, okay! Let's get to the water!
[ He takes a deep breath, pretty much revs up, then shoots off as fast and far as he can off the Cliff Beast's fingertips, uncertain how far the hands will extend to catch him. But as he runs off, he turns backwards and flips, splaying all his arms and legs out dramatically as he trust-falls into thin air. ]
Take! Me! Magic Gravityyy-hehe-ee!
[ Y'know, they could've just as easily taken the stairs... ]
( What's life if you don't take some risks? If anything, it was Chara was initially influenced Asriel to be the kid he is now, and Alberto? In the past, it would have very likely been the same thing. He was always one who rather impressionable to those around him. Chara was the one who helped him take more risks and ultimately break some rules from time-to-time. Perhaps it was thanks to them that Asriel was out here at all.
It's a lot less nerve-wracking this time. He knows what to expect when he jumps down again. )
Here I come!
( He calls out, laughter escaping him once more when he jumps, the creature catching him with ease. Though, he'll inevitably start becoming slower as they near the water. )
[ Alberto lands on the next hand with a loud, ungraceful thud and an "oof," but it's quickly followed by delighted laughter of his own, undeterred. He lets out another whoop and leaps again and again, eventually trying to match up with Asriel as they jump a few more hands down together. But as they get nearer to the bottom, he notices Asriel starts slowing down...
Alberto stops short in the palm of one hand toward the end, and thrusts an arm out against Asriel's chest as he hops up to stop him from jumping again. He wears an oddly serious-like expression, surveying the shore before them before they reach it. He glances to the side and catches the boy's gaze from the corners of his eyes, but then a knowing, cockeyed smirk crawls over his face. He extends his arms gracefully, albeit theatrically, and splays his palms out flat, concentrating his magical effort. His familiar had been floating behind trying to keep up (poor Almond, did he take the stairs?!) but catches onto what Alberto's about to do, and flies quite a bit faster to come help out...
With their combined effort, they can make some fairly stable hard light magic. A translucent, iridescent, glowing forcefield begins to materialize off the edge of their present Cliff Beast hand, forming what looks very much like a (sparkly rainbow-ish) slide right down to the shore, dissipating toward where the tides lap at the sand. Carlo taught Alberto this trick before any others, essentially: How to save his ass from jumping off cliffs and doing stupid shit. But Alberto eventually just— put his own "stupid-shit" spin on this protective spell and turned it into an accessory for bullshit instead of something, y'know, preventative and useful, like the cat had intended it to be... But it's still probably better than just plain jumping off cliffs? At least better he's practicing his magic at it; it's a more useful skill to practice than his silly fireworks glamours, after all. But hey, he's a kid of many talents.
He tips his head toward it, grinning at Asriel more slyly now. ]
( Once Alberto asks Asriel to wait, he can't help but blink in curiosity - simply watching for a moment. The magic shown is far more practiced than before, albeit it's still evident that Alberto is new at using it. Still, Asriel smiles fondly as Alberto seems to slide downwards. It's safer, to say the least -- but, it doesn't look any less fun.
Asriel backs up once again, but there's no hesitance this time when Asriel begins to slide downwards - laughing all the while until he finds himself at the bottom. At this point, he knows that Alberto's use of magic is a bit risky -- but, that's never stopped Asriel from having fun before. And, even if something does happen and his magic disappears? Asriel knows that the rock creature is bound to catch them.
Asriel is practically bouncing on his heels when he pushes himself up to stand. )
Alberto, that was amazing! I didn't know you could do that with your magic.
[ Alberto stands behind watching Asriel slide down, a genuine grin spreading ear-to-ear as he does. He likes seeing the other monster have fun. He claps his hands approvingly once the other boy bounces back to his feet, applauding from above. ]
Bravo, Asriel!
[ He places his hands proudly on both hips then, leaning forward teasingly with a smile so wide it almost hurts, and a mischievous glint in his green eyes that almost literally sparkles in the moonlight, even from afar. ]
Okay, now, watch out, ehehe— Wanna see something else amazing that you didn't know I could do~?
[ Why does... this sound more ominous somehow...? The buildup... Maybe it's the fact that he's backing up to the other end of the hand to get as much of a running start down his magic slide as he possibly can, priming himself to meet Asriel on the shore, as the tide licks at the boss monster's feet in the sand. Alberto calls out to Asriel, unseen now from where the prince stands below for the extra space he's giving himself to gain speed, Alberto's voice carrying itself loud and proud over the empty beach. ]
I want you to hit me with your water magic as soon as I slide down, okay?! On three, got it?!
[ The anticipation...! Needlessly showing off... Oh, mamma... ]
