[ It helps to be having this conversation now, Claude thinks, after having had a chance to talk to so many others about the technologies available where they're from and how those compare to Cadens. Or even Thorne and Solvunn, though the latter doesn't seem to have much of any from what he's heard. Then there's Viktor and Jayce's workshop and their inventions and how those opened even different doors to other knowledge. Regardless, all of it together gives more context to what he hears and especially so with Julie's very kind elaborations of her world versus here.
That talk in particular comes to mind since while computers are past his understanding, the mention of a network and what he fills in the blanks as being a way of connecting has his expression brightening in recognition. Hopefully. ]
Oh, are you talking about the internet? We most definitely didn't have that as you might've guessed, but I've heard of it. It sounds incredibly useful, what with the connecting of people very far away. Much more convenient than sending letters by couriers or with a merchant traveling from one city to the next. I suppose I should tell you that's more or less how the mail works here too except with the bonus of whatever you're sending being searched on the way out from one country and on the way in to another.
[ As for that last part, though - that he can offer some advice for. ]
When it comes to the horse thing though, I think you'll find you're covered with how many of us are used to them. I can help teach you if you'd like since I grew up with both that and flying wyverns though wyverns are, ah, admittedly a bit different. Or you could also ask Sylvain - [ with a point towards a tall man with red hair serving as a beacon where he's near the bar - ] sometime. He's one of my friends, and he works at one of the stables here that gives discounts to Summoned which makes renting a horse a little easier all around. Both of us live here, so we're easy to find if you end up staying here too.
