Nah. If you can't get somewhere on foot or horseback, you just sail. Maybe a train would be faster, but it seems awfully inconvenient, being limited to just a path you have to lay out beforehand.

[He'd probably think at least a little better of cars, but the need for constantly maintained roads and difficult to find and make fuel..... Even they would probably seem rather absurd. That sort of thing is suited for civilian couriers, maybe, people whose jobs are to go fast between well-established areas with relatively benign deliveries. If you actually rely on things like those, what are you meant to do if there are issues with your vehicle or paths, or it gets dangerous? That's way too precarious and unreliable, way too easily sabotaged. Counting on trains sounds like a good way to cripple an entire country, once another war breaks out. And another war always breaks out eventually, doesn't it?]

The tracks don't seem especially busy; you could probably make it as far as your legs would carry you. Doesn't exactly guarantee you'd be going the right way, though.

[The station maps really don't show any other stations on the line that he can see. But what does that matter to him? Unlike his friend here, he's fairly sure that he doesn't have anywhere else to get back to.]
