Just to clarify my view on it, I don't think walking around with an Egi following you is likely to get you attacked or jailed by the city guard. After all, Arcanists (who rather publicly display their Carbuncles) are known to the populace, and so summoned creatures under the control of a mage aren't exactly exotic. That said, walking around with an Egi following you is like walking around with an assault rifle slung over your shoulder -- it's a clear statement that you're combat ready and have a weapon (that most fear and don't really understand) ready to go. It's bound to make the average person fairly nervous, and so dirty looks, averted gazes, and a keen watch by the city guard wouldn't be out of the ordinary. Whether a character cares about such things is another matter entirely; for instance, L'yhta doesn't have Egi out in the city-states (excluding the Arcanists' Guild), but she will keep them around in outlying villages and places like Revenant's Toll that are frequented by adventurers. She cares about seeming approachable to the average citizen, though, and not freaking people out.
