[ kaneki is certainly very new; he supposes that is easy to spot, given how newcomers carry themselves after arriving to a whole new world in a whole different universe, surrounded by creatures most of them had never seen before. Completely out of place. And of course kaneki is part of such group too, no matter how tense he is during this whole thing.

After he returns from a quick look around their camp - unlike Akira, he is capable of fighting off any creatures trying to approach, as well bandits - kaneki returns to one of the tents to sit down. Sleep is impossible to him, but he should get to know the others on the same journey he is, and this seems like a good time to do so.

At least Akira speaks first. Since Kaneki is a bit of a wallflower and a bit too introvert to start the conversation on his own, he is glad for that. He smiles a little. ]

Ah... there was no magic. People live in big city with tall buildings and civilization and technology has advanced well beyond traveling with horses.
