[Considering that he normally just gets blank stares at these sorts of remarks, any positive response is appreciated, but it's also encouragement which might be dangerous.

But not right now, at least, as he listens to Claude's answer and tries to get an idea of his world from it. Purposeful suppression of inventions--particularly an invention meant to make information widely available--is both concerning and fascinating, and although it's also the case in his world that some nations and countries are more advanced than others, it seems like it might've been a striking difference in Claude's world. If the situation were different he might pry a little, curious about the details, but bouncing the question back toward Jayden indicates that might not be a welcome topic, at least for the moment.

So he considers how to answer the question for a moment, sipping at his drink again, trying to figure out an explanation that's both concise and accurate.]

Aside from the whole 'no magic' thing, technology varies a lot from country to country in my world too. Some places are kinda' like this, but a lot have more advancements; the country I'm from has some of the newest tech available.

[Though explaining that might be a little tricky. The network, however, gives a helpful analog for part of it.]

So somethin' like the network exists, but it's not done with your mind, but somethin' called a computer, which I already miss.

[It's a light remark, but he's also serious. Although he's not the type of person who spends all day at a computer, he does prefer to use technology--including experimental technology--whenever it's useful to a task, which is much of the time.]

There's a lot of things here I'm gonna have to get used to doing the old-fashioned way.

[A pause.]

And maybe I should learn to ride a horse.
