Under normal circumstances, Eiko wouldn't have been out of Madain Sari yet. The tribe had rules that summoners could not leave until they were sixteen years of age. Long enough for them to grow some maturity and have a sufficient bond with the eidolons to ensure their safety. All that had changed when an eye in the sky had demolished the village, wiping out the population.
In the back of her mind, Eiko knew that just being out and about was a big enough deal. Yet the temptation to race ahead of the other summoners, and Auron, was too great to resist. "I'll go look. You come too, Auron!"
There were some gaping holes in Eiko's understanding of Spira's summoners, the result of adults not sharing whole stories of how the process worked. But it served to puzzle the child why her guardian was hesitant to join in.
