*At first, Selphie immediately understands. After all, if she were without fighting, she's not really sure what she'd have left. Back home, peace means no place to belong to. But as Marco continues, she has to try harder to understand, to try to empathise too, to feel what he's feeling. He's right, in this place, life is everywhere. Even as a human she can really sense the feel of the place, and it's very peaceful, and full of living things.

She moves ever so slightly closer to Marco. She wants to hold him close and let him cry if that's what he needs to do. But if there's anything she's learned in recent months it's that the phoenix is a complicated creature, and she's terrified she might do something to make Marco hate her. As it is, she still struggles with how much Ikki does. So she doesn't hug him, but she moves close, and places a hand warmly on his arm, just listening carefully, her wide eyes showing her concern*

Marco...why don't we get you back on the ship? Take you away from this?

*If peace for Marco is getting away, then she wants him to be as far removed from the island as possible. She nods when he mentions Leanne, and she's not going to whisper a word*
