Ashelia took a deep breath, shaking her head. This discussion wasn't going the way she wanted it to. But was that so bad? A valid point. Sephiroth wasn't necessarily wrong, he just didn't have the same perspective that Ashelia did. This is exactly what I need. Someone to question my decisions. Without friends like that, Ashelia knew she would have jumped off the deep end and become the next Dynast-King for true.
"Perhaps, in this case, a little more faith is in order," Ashelia replied, keeping her tone light after Sephiroth's clearly painful adjustment. "This dream has shown us a hole in the Empire's defenses seemingly too good to be true. And yet..." She expelled her breath, once again shaking her head. "Perhaps we were brought here for a reason. Perhaps we were sent the dream by whatever it is that brought us here; perhaps it was the Queen. Perhaps it was someone else, some ally we've yet to meet. Perhaps it was a trap, a snare set by Kalki to remove a large number of us from the game board at once, to fuel her sick experiments. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps."
She moved to lock eyes with Sephiroth, tilting her head to the side. "There are those that are willing to risk everything for this chance; neither of us would be able to stop them, and neither would Biggs or the others - and I firmly believe they have already given us what help they can spare. Wedge has provided me with maps and other useful information. I will distribute this information to the others."
Ashelia sat back, though she didn't for one second intend on losing eye contact with Sephiroth. "If you cannot have faith in what brought this opportunity to us - even I have trouble with that, though I feel I must - then have faith in our compatriots. They will succeed because they must. None of this is lost on them."
