"I could find out so much for Knawan Ysenna!" Orien closes the window behind herself, sitting down in her nest. "I could learn about their history and where they come from." She starts undoing her arm ties, unable to stop thinking about the possibilities. "I could get more silphium. I could find out about the great library." That makes her think of her mentor, and a possible way to avoid any unpleasantness with her uncle. "If Knawan Ysenna could write a letter to Uncle explaining that it's for learning, maybe that would be all right!" She pauses. "I hope Tiero writes soon! But what if he doesn't?" She bites her lip, worrying at the thought. "What if he can't? What if... what if they're further away than I thought?" And a memory of a few nights ago surfaces. "What if that was real magic?" She pulls off her hat and glares at it, as though it had voiced an objection. "Then I definitely have to find out about it!"
