It certainly would be nice to be able to go more places than are currently accessible to them, Phryne has to admit. Or barring that to at least have a wider variety of people in the village. Not that she isn't well aware that village (and its twin) are only capable of accommodating so many people, at the end of the day. But even so she's far more used to sprawling metropolises than the more insular feeling the village itself tends to lend itself to on a regular basis.

"Some of that might be because paper is comparatively scarce, here? But even with I would have expected whoever is responsible for the buildings being here in the first place to have left some sort of record as what to expect beyond the immediate boundaries of the village."

And that they'd be at least reasonably easy to find, if they'd been expecting other people to follow in their footsteps. She'll admit that might not necessarily have been the case, of course. But still, the persistent lack of any significant information itches more than she's particularly willing to admit.
