"With dessert!" Eiko answered, entirely serious about beginning with the sweets, then lunch. She skipped over to the table and sat herself rather unceremoniously down. Dagger didn't mind and Mother wasn't around to tell her to mind her manners. That lady stuff was harder than she thought it would be.
Still, she was delighted to have the chance to finally catch up with Dagger, who was very much like family to her too. And a summoner too. Two sugar cubes went into her own tea, and a third one into her mouth to suck on. "I've got so much to tell you! I met Rydia's eidolons, and boy is Leviathan different. But Whyt and the Sylphs are great. Oh! And I can summon the Sylphs now. They're so pretty! What about you? Have you met any new eidolons?"
Leave it to the child to immediately jump to summoning. It was only partially because they had that in common. The girl had a natural curiosity about her abilities and a strong sense of duty to preserve the tribe and its ways. Dagger was a queen, so it fell to her to accomplish.
