James and the drunk enter the pizza place. Gordon's there.
Gordon: Who's that?
James: Oh, that's Shots.
Gordon: Shots?
James: Yeah. I don't know his real name. I'm not sure he does either. He's basically living in the pub across the street, so I thought I'd invite him over here and buy him a pizza.
Shots looks around the pizza place, seeming a bit uncomfortable in the new setting/surroundings.
My question is about the last part. Can I say "in the new setting" or "in the new surroundings" here?
Yes, you can.
