Mmm, for some it was for pure adornment, and for others it was utility.

[Mayuko points to the book in the moogle's paws, her gaze solemn.]

Just as Aurora is able to revive those that have fallen here, the moogles revived residents in... another place I have been. But one could only be revived by the moogle they had last spoken to. They needed to be found quickly so that they could go work their magic. Otherwise, the unlucky deceased would have to regenerate slowly in fetid swampland.

[She wrinkles her nose at that. Few people spent more time in the swamps than they had to, if they could help it.]

Some moogles ended up being more in demand than others, if you get my meaning. Hence, the ornamentation... as the pieces were often gifts from grateful residents, the moogles tended to accept them. Alongside their treats.

[When she concludes, she blinks, then looks back out at the flock milling below.]

Apologies. Blathering on about the bad old days isn't the best habit.
