Part of your world
Sea monsters aren't typically in this area, but sometimes things can go wrong and a sea beast will rise up from the depths to try and drag the ship down with them to munch on the tasty humans inside. Sometimes when this happens, the ship gets away, if the people on it are clever or have the right enchanted items or have a particular talent for magic. More often than not, though - they don't.
So even when a sea monster attack is very, very unlikely, if Lirlaveth notices a ship anywhere nearby, she'll put what she's doing on hold and quietly follow the ship to make sure it's not going to be attacked by a murderous monster that wants to eat humans. Or, if it is, to help prevent the humans from becoming food.
She's spotted one such ship, and so even though it means putting her study into enchantment on hold, she goes to follow it to make sure it'll be all right. Probably just paranoia (sea beast attacks aren't that common), but it might turn out to be justified one day.

She gets hungry before she stops. Lirlaveth quiets the silent sobs to silent sniffles and dutifully eats - well, food that she recognizes, anyway. Some of it's weird. Well, most of it's weird, but it's a recognizable kind of weird. This-thing prepared in this-weird-way.
...
Partway through she notices that she feels - dry is the word she wants to use. This - makes sense, she guesses, but she's not entirely sure how to solve it without getting up from the couch to swim. The pitcher might have been for this, now that she thinks about it. Uh. ... She attempts to switch to water breathing with some minor difficulty, considering that she's breathing out of a pitcher. And then she's just awkwardly holding her breath with water that tastes weird without any salt in it.
She breathes it back into its pitcher. She feels a little better, but - not very much, and switching from air to water multiple times in a row sounds highly unpleasant. Ugh.
Okay. Plan: she will finish crying, then go see about going and being in the water. Maybe that'll fix this.
She finishes crying. And then she gets up, wobbly and supporting herself on walls and furniture, to look for someone.
