Like... the person went to culinary school and only makes this kind of specialized food? Like macarons or a special kind of pie? May and I used to see a lot of those shops, but never went in since they were super expensive back in New York.
[Time for Casey to become dessert connoisseur. New arc unlocked.]
True, I just got used to thinking of them as 'Boujee', y'know? [Peter pauses, realizing Casey probably has no idea what that means.] It's slang, for like- when someone buys something they can't afford to look rich. It's a whole thing.
They are, it's just... more a commentary on people wanting to seem really rich for status, even though they had no money for what they really need? It's very New York.
Probably a while. Like... a good while. [He seems apologetic about Casey needing to deal with any of it at all.] I'm sure being here will help make it a lot less jarring?
Yeah, you're probably going to get your bearings a lot faster here. More control, less- New York. [He has no idea how to describe New York in a way that isn't a tangent about how much he loves the chaotic messy place it is.]
[Peter can't help but laugh a little at that.] It's a lot, but you'll get it. New York is so diverse and all over the place, you'll just need to be you and pick up things along the way.

Adds 'macaron' alongside mochi to his notes. That one's a new word.]
We can probably afford just about anything here, if we find any specialty stores.

Also adds "boo-gee??" to his list.]
That's weird. Aren't people allowed to treat themselves?
