Yeah, Alec really sticks out like a sore thumb. Wren has a few moments where they debate not doing anything, but they wouldn't be a masked vigilante back home if they were physically capable of minding their own business.
At least Wren's used to talking with tall people, and at 5'7" Alec isn't quite as starkly taller than someone shorter would have to deal with. Still, 'rich goth' is Wren's first impression, though they try to not let it show. Everyone has different ways of handling shock and being in a crisis, and maybe in Alec's world he's totally normal. Wren on the other hand mostly blends in with their worn jeans and t-shirt… even if the Nirvana smiley logo on the shirt is technically three-ish years away from existing here.
"It's mall food, it's not really good so much as available," Wren points out. "What do you usually like?"
They can find something. Besides, $100 goes for a lot more in this era.
