You don't have to apologize. Hanging out doesn't mean it can't be serious. Otherwise, how are you supposed to share the big stuff with friends?
[Not that he's an expert at hanging out or friends his age, but it's a simple enough concept. Still, if Peter wants to lighten the subject, he won't object.]
[Peter blows out a short amused huff at Casey's point, his lips briefly quirking into a smile.] Okay, yeah, that's true- I just felt bad for getting so serious when we're trying new foods. We are friends, and its something worth talking about.
If we get introspective and serious every time we eat sushi, then we'll say its the sushi's fault. [He jokes idly back.]
[Casey laughs; clearly he's not that bothered about the seriousness of the prior topic. At the very least he bounces back quickly. In his world, if you can't recover from the more unhappy times and find cheer somewhere, you'll just always be miserable.]
Poor sushi, first it has wasabi to contend with, and now this.
These fish never deserved this. [Peter picks up another piece to pop into his mouth. He talks with his mouth full.] Though they are delicious like this.
Fusion Food is when someone decides to combine two kinds of super different foods together to make something new. Like... Japanese and Mexican food, or Korean and Southern food. Its like a whole a whole sub section of restaurants.
[Never, Peter is happy to just hang out with Casey.]
Yeah, that'll be good! I'm sure Epiphany has at least one fusion place with that here. I mean... it has everything. [Peter is still trying to hit every food stall and stand he can. He assumes his whole spider metabolism is just extra hungry for some reason, unaware he's going to hit a growth spurt soon.]
That's true. Even just walking down the street earlier, it was kind of overwhelming. I might start working my way down the whole line of them if I can't decide what to eat.
[Though he ought to be cooking more. He won't get better if he always chickens out.]

[He blows out a breath.] Sorry, this is probably way heavy to talk about over lunch. We're supposed to be hanging out.
