Jack nods to Eliot's explanation, and looks up when it seems that he's veering into nostalgic territory. Jack is aware of New York, but he's definitely not been there, and he assumes that it would be vastly different by Eliot's time, anyway.
He can see why Eliot might think of Darrow as small, but for himself, Darrow already feels big and complex. It's actual size isn't much different from New Providence, but there's so much more here. Everything still feels new and strange in a way that he can't see himself getting used to anytime soon. If Darrow is dull to Eliot, what is a big city like? He can't fathom it, and he feels grateful that he was dumped here instead of a place like that.
"Casual," He mumbles as he picks out a couple tees from the table. He's not entirely sure if he wants to be more casual about it, whatever that means, but in the meantime an extra layer of fabric can't hurt. He folds them over his arm with the button-ups and heads in the direction that Eliot had been guiding them.
"Were you taught your magic in New York? Or was that somewhere else...the place that you were taken from?" He's still incredibly curious about Eliot's magic, how it works, and what sort of system fostered it. From Eliot's description before, it seems like a fairly exclusive opportunity.
