(Her father would happily take her sailing around Greece if she asked, but if she suggested going off around the world by herself she suspected her mother would make such an ordeal out of it that it almost wouldn’t be worth it.)

“Perhaps I’ve read some, after all,” she mused thoughtfully, casting her mind back to see whether she could attach the name to any of the more inspiring travel pieces she recalled. (He was an interesting person, so she could not imagine that his written manner would be particularly dull.) “And I agree that they can -” Phyri added, in agreement of readers, “but as someone who has made words her life as well, I must protest that there is rarely the same degree of danger to be felt in adventures when one is only living them vicariously. I must be a little envious.”
Hence the fun of the sinking boat, probably.
