That... is very helpful, actually. As Alec considers his newfound options, he runs a hand through his hair. He should probably, you know, thank Wren for their kind assistance, but he's very busy trying to decide if it's worth it to have a salad (which he probably should, if he's not going to be getting his regular demon hunting exercise), or if he absolutely has to have something he'll actually enjoy the taste of. Give him a moment.
"Are you familiar with any of the places in town?" Alec hadn't really been looking for restaurants during his first day, too busy trying to keep everything under control as it became more and more apparent that Magnus might not actually appear out of nowhere to portal him back home and lend a sympathetic ear to all of Alec's petty complaints about the place (and the 80s, which he blessedly missed the first time around and isn't thrilled about getting to experience firsthand now.) "Or are you— new here, too?" Clearly he does know better than to be particularly open about he circumstances of his arrival, so that's something.
A beat, and then a touch sheepishly: "Uh, I'm Alec." Gratitude coming soon, honest! Probably.
