It wasn't that Wren didn't know any rich people, just that arguably the one they were closest with wasn't born into it and acutely remembered lacking it. Everyone needed a little help sometimes though.
Wren doesn't interrupt as Alec lists places that are well beyond the reach of a late 80s mall food court, even a higher end one, mildly relieved when he seems to realize his own situation without being reminded of it. Okay, not hopeless.
"Absolutely not the pizza or the hot dogs then," Wren concluded, figuring those likely to be the worst offenders of being grease bombs masquerading as food if they held true to the malls Wren was familiar with. "Salad Bar probably the best bet for non greasy, I think the smoothie place has sandwiches that are also probably acceptable. Chicken Wings - sorry, wingz might have some waffle options? The burger place could also have a breakfast menu, it's early enough. You'd probably have better luck at some mom and pop diner outside the mall for pancakes though, if not an IHOP."
