Ashelia gasped, one hand going immediately to the hilt of her sword. Stupid, should have been paying more atteniton - they abduct you and fill your head with stories and you spend your time entranced with fireworks - Merlose still isn't back, maybe they've done something to her - maybe the moogles aren't complicit after all -

She calmed down considerably when she saw the moogle at the girl's side. One of us. That was a sobering thought. Was she already willing to trust the other 'heroes' so implicitly? Take a step back. Slowly, now.

"O-of course." Ashelia clear her throat, taking a step back. "You've a moogle attendant. Might I hazard a guess that you are also a...Hero of Light?" It was a struggle to get that out. Gauging the reaction of the other 'heroes' was an important step in learning who she might be able to trust, though.
