[There are reasons that he's asking - Naki's handling it poorly, while Tsukiyama himself is...uh, not handling it at all - though that doesn't make the actual "asking" part of that any less awkward; just the same, it seems he's decided that common decency isn't going to kill him today.]
With regards to what's going to happen...well, I don't personally see the sense in agonizing over it. I've already done that, based on the few things I've heard; I'm not going to suffer over it any further, but I can understand where it would be a concern.
[Holy shit, the effort here is almost palpable. He tried.]
...I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't at least somewhat worried about that last part myself, however. Is it anyone in particular that's a concern, or...?
[There isn't a single one of us here that isn't concerned about Yamori, then - with the exception of Kaneki, who doesn't know that he should be concerned about Yamori.
That said, though - ]
We've done what we can to make our own happiness here. All of us, even Naki-san. I'm not just going to allow anyone to threaten that; I won't let any of them try to take that from us.

We've been here for quite some time, you know. It'll have been a solid year for me in three days; for you...two weeks beyond that, n'est-ce pas?

It's hard to believe it's been that long.
[He figures Tsukiyama will understand what he's talking about, there-- ghouls spending so long changed into humans horribly complicates things.]

[He's a pacifist, so not having to kill people is something of a relief for him, but...]
I keep wondering what will happen when we go back.
or what might happen if someone else from Tokyo shows up here.

[It's going to be a goddamn mess, he doesn't have to know explicitly what's going to happen to know that.]
It depends. Any of the higher ups would be a problem, especially Ayato, or Yamori. Having Tatara or Eto show up would be equally disastrous.
[And that's not including what might happen if a dove shows up.]

I appreciate it.
[Because he's not strong enough to protect Kaneki, or himself, against the likes of Yamori.
The statement is terse, but genuine.]

At least you're just saying this to me, and not to someone who'd make your life miserable.
[That's probably meant to be a joke.]
