[ He visibly relaxes at the answer, his smile more genuine. ]

[ The storm is making the walls and loose glass rattle around them, and Alberto is having similar concerns as Omega. It's not as if they have a lot of options, however, so they're stuck here for the time being. After she shares her name, he reaches out to shake Omega's hand. ]

Alberto Scorfano! It's nice to meet you, Omega. [ He smiles, but quickly looks down at their joined hands. She's cold to the touch. Being wet is not an issue for a sea serpent, since it's their natural state of being, but even someone like Alberto can tell that she might be uncomfortable.
