Judging by the nearby shops, he assumed that he was in the Business District. Maybe. Possibly. What air cab had he ended up taking last?
"I need something to do with all this damned time," he muttered to himself as he looked around, trying to judge his location.

And then for a moment, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Vayne.
Not Vayne. He was gone, too long now to hope that perhaps Iifa would have spared him. And after more than a second's glance, the stranger bore only a very passing resemblance and only then, if one squinted, or didn't look too hard. Still, it was enough to give her pause, have her staring just a bit too long to be polite. And then, she realized she did recognize the man for himself, At least, she thought she did.
"Excuse me... Mr. Raines, was it?"

"That would be me," he said, nodding his head in greeting. When was the last time he had been called Mr. Raines? Not Commander, not Brigadier General, not General (for short), but a simple Mr.

"Delita!" she called out in greeting, waving to him.

"Lady Tribal?"
The corners of his mouth rose in a tiny smile at the greeting. "I had not expected to meet with you here."

"No one's ever called me that. It's a good thing Zidane isn't here, I might never hear the end of it," she replied, stepping closer, just assuming Eiko would follow. "Just 'Dagger' is fine though."
Dagger Tribal. She had to admit, that had a nice ring to it.
"I'm here visiting family." It wasn't a lie, exactly -- a stretch, maybe, but it was also a good cover when she was trying to keep a low profile. "What're you doing out here? I didn't know you were in Lindblum."

The merging of the worlds had just been an abstract thought to her, until she'd embarked on her explorations. In any case, it was no longer just a thought; it was real.
She had a lot on her mind, and so she retreated to Lindblum. After Burmecia, it was a place that she was quite fond of. So there she sat, on a flight of stairs that led up to one of the many shops in the area, running her hands over the handle of her spear, still lost in thought.

Still, she hadn't expected to see her on the streets of Lindblum. Even with the sky people, and Gaia's diverse population, A Burmecian in Lindblum could stand out like a sore thumb.
"Freya? Hey! Freya!" Dagger called out from across the way.

It felt like it had been a long time since she'd seen the young woman, and so seeing her now felt very pleasant indeed. Granted, she was not as close to her as she was to Zidane, for instance, but that did not mean that she did not regard her as a friend. "What are you doing here? I expected to find you in Alexandria, and not Lindblum," she said, trying to sound more surprised than accusatory. After all, Dagger was free to go where she wished; Freya was simply curious as to what business brought her here.

"I'm here visiting Eiko," she said with a smile. "We haven't had a chance to really spend any time together... and I've been planning on taking a trip, to visit all these new places. I figured, I might as well stop through Lindblum, first."

"...Are you a white mage?" she asked, glancing at the object. It wouldn't do her much good if she wasn't.

"So, you don't know which class you are? There are some people in the armor and weapons shops that are pretty good about figuring that kind of thing out."

And then, as they rounded the corner, there he was, face-down on the cobblestone.
"Vivi? Are you okay?" They either had very goo timing, or very bad timing, to see him in this all-too-common but likely still-embarrassing situation. Quietly, Dagger advanced, and squatted down in front of him.

The queen's voice, he reminded himself sternly. She'd been queen for a long time now and it had happenned while he was there so really he had no excuse but old habits still died hard. She'd probably never really manage to be Queen Garnet to Vivi. Just 'Dagger' or 'Princess' (in all capital letters with too many exclaimation points following it and accompanied by the sound of plates of metal armour hitting each other). And despite his efforts to adress her properly (and he was making efforts, they just weren't paying off) he sort of preferred it that way. He didn't really want to have to refer to a friend so impersonally ( ... )
