Ashelia was walking along, wearing a simple peasant blouse and magenta skirt, her only adornment a simple band on her wedding ring finger. She was looking at a piece of paper in her hand, presumably a shopping list. Her moogle, Merlose, flew in front of her, carrying a wicker basket full of groceries. The basket was a little large for the moogle, but she wasn't complaining at all.

The queen saw Sephiroth in discussion with a shopkeeper and, recognizing him as one of the more capable warriors from the battle with the Chocobo Eater, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the topic of the somewhat aggressive conversation. She lingered nearby, intensely interested in hearing how the whole thing worked out - and, if Sephiroth should react unkindly to her eavesdropping, all she had to do was flash the list.
