A friend of yours I take it? [Souji assumes that's it, judging by his tone of voice and body language, not to mention it reminds him a bit of how he'd act, should he talk about any of his friends after not seeing them in a long time- His own expression would be a lot more blank though. A bad habit of his that, to disconnect completely from how he felt whenever he was separated from friends for longer periods of time...

Shifting his focus then, he tilts his head.] I see...

Where I come from we have lots of different modes of transportation. Traveling long distances by foot isn't all that normal any more.... Or sailing when I think about it. There are ships, but they have engines that drive them forward so it's not like they need wind to move. Or sails for that matter. [He shrugs a little. He figures his world is just pretty technologically advanced compared to the world this man comes from.]
