(OOC- Instead of having a hard time for people to meet up I thought it would be fitting to make this as the one for everyone to catch up to each other at)
:The sun slowly sets and fireworks begin to go off before the sun fades away. The city square is filled with most of the population of Madain Sari as well as many coming to visit to honor the great summoner:
:At the center stage a single elder stands to make an announcement:
"I hope everyone rememebers him and appreciates everything he has done. This would be his style not to go out flashy so remember him with your memories. There are no speechs needed. Enjoy the evening people!"
:A band quickly comes up the stage and begins playing some nice background music while people drink and visit:

:Airlia stands near the edge of the celebrations near an inn. She keeps her arms crossed, maintaining a professionalism to her character:
I hope all of you enjoy this because this won't last. It will sink in..
:She shakes her head and takes a drink of her wine:

:Nemo streaks out from the bar. He still dones his disgusting clothes in need of a batheing, but he still doesn't care:
"TO THE SUMMONER!!!!"
:Nemo downs another beer and knocks someone over to grab another. He staggers back and leans against the pub:

::Rainii moves through the crowd with ease--living in a city where crowds like this are common place tends to help hone that skill. She doesn't recognise anyone, and she doesn't believe that anyone recognises her.::
Good. Right now, I prefer not to be noticed.
::The odd light heartedness of the gathering still gets to her. Sure, no one likes to be sad,but...a party?::
Hopefully, wherever he is, he wont be terribly offended that I don't feel like dancing.
::Rainii stops, and leans against a wall. She prefers to be a spectator, anyway.::

:Airlia glances over at the female that settles in near her and grumbles. She'd prefer to just be alone right now then she pauses and looks back at the female for a slightly longer time before turning her gaze back to the crowds:
She looks so familiar? Was she a friend of his? I could have swore I've seen her before.
:Airlia glances over again:

::Rainii notices that the girl next to her keeps staring at her. It weirds her out. She debates whether to say anything, and eventually decides she should::
"Umm...I hate to be rude, but...why do you keep looking at me?"

:Airlia tries to play it off that she wasn't looking and sighes as her attempt to not talk to anyone tonight failed:
"You look familiar...thats all."
:She takes another sip and continues watching the celebrations:

"Ok...that makes sense."
::Rainii continues to people watch. She thinks about making conversation with the girl...::
"Is it just me, or do you find this party to be a little...inappropriate?"

"I was taught that celebrations in general are....well.....for the most part inappropriate.."
:Airlia trails off as images of the academy being attacked flash through her head. Fellow students fell quickly, most of which still had not finished off their first classes:
"So why do you look familiar to me?"
:Airlia, for the first time, actually turns to face Rainii:

"Well...I knew Infinity...I traveled with him for a number of years."
::Rainii feels comfortable telling her this for some reason.::
"But I don't know why that would mean I was familiar looking to you."

:Airlia clears her throat:
"Well...I knew him also. He actually trained me."
:She looks down:

"Ah."
::She looks at Airlia.::
"You're lucky."

:For the first time in awhile she feels a little relaxed but tenses up again after a nervous smile:
"Well...its a double edged sword."
:She takes the last sip and places the glass down on the small bistro table near them:
"I am actually the only known person to be trained by him. Sounds good, but it brings plenty of pressure."
:Sighs:
"People have expected a lot of me...and I really try not to let him down. It makes things even worse that I'm a female AND I'm human. I'm not even summoner's bloodlines."

"I still bet you're decent,though, if he trained you."
::Rainii smiles at her.::
"By the way, my name's Rainii. Rainii Loire."

:Airlia nods: "I'm actually just as good as his children..." :Smiles: "Which proves that bloodline and hard training can be equal. However I still look up to him as somwwhat of an older brother...like I was part of his family." :She shakes Rainii's hand: "I knew it...you are the one that was with him quite often..." :Pauses: "The other fellow? The mercenary was also with you two often. Where has he gone?" :A song in the background comes on and plays for a long time. Airlia remembers coming to his office sometimes hearing this song being played from an old record player: youtube.com/watch?v=pe-MIDDfckw(OOC-Yea stealing the Loci idea...but love it!)

"Umm I'm kind of lost..."

::And she was doing so good with the question avoiding.::
"The mercenary guy is...gone too. It's just me now."
::She noticed how sad that sounded, and felt weird for saying it.::
"You're lucky to have been considered part of his family. I'm jealous!"
::She laughs,trying to lighten the mood.::

:She shakes her head:
"No...he considered YOU his little sister. I was simply a student I think...I just felt like I was....."
:She trails off:
"How rude of me. I'm Airlia.....Airlia Eyanson."
:She leans against the building again in a oh so familiar way resembling Infinity:
"I'm sorry for your losses. I'm sad, but you were so much closer...so I can't even imagine how you feel. I didn't even get to see him in the later years. After the academy was ruined I left and never tried contacting him again because I thought he would always be around."
:She shrugs and looks like she may cry:
"Who knew..."
:She looks back at Rainii:
"You had to have been there. You always were there for him. What happened?"

:Nemo leans against the chocobo and grins:
"Drink mate?"
:He holds up a beer and dumps some on the chocobo's bill:
"You're a messy one eh?"

::Everytime she has to replay this scene for anyone, she feels like her heart gets ripped out and stomped on. But she'll always go on to tell it--maybe, if she tells it enough, it'll hurt less.::
"Well,uh...We were fighting Loci. At least, Infinity was. Loci--"
::She decides to skip the gory details, although she can see it, just like it was happening right in front of her.::
"--stabbed him, and...."
::Rainii wished she didn't have to see it again.::
"Infinity...was dying, and he....well,the Lifestream had been poisoned so he thought--decided--...that he would fall back into the lifestream..."
::Rainii nods sharply, and blinks the tears from her eyes.::
"...and he did."
