Special rings and secret high fives

Rinoa gripped Selphie's hand tightly in return, glad she was still able to be an anchor to her friend. She'd always been the one comforted and never the one comforting, so she's not 100% confident she's doing it right, but so far it seems like it's going okay, and for that she's really glad.

She's patient while she waits for a response, though it's a little strange to see Selphie so quiet. Granted, given the circumstances it's more than understandable, but it's just furthering her worry to see how affected Selphie is.

"Another world?" So, then this is the second time that she hasn't been able to find her way back. That's not good. That's really not good. What if all of them are spread out across different worlds? What if they never find their way back?

She shakes her head. There's time to figure that out later. "I had no idea." Some friend she was. "Did they... I mean, do you think they'll show up here too?"

Jackets!

Selphie pondered that notion for a few moments before she shrugged her shoulders. If Selphie saw her friends from Crystallis again, how would she react? They hadn't been around in the end while others had and some things just wouldn't be the same. Too much had happened. Too many had given up everything for the greater good.

"I dunno," Selphie returned thoughtfully. "Maybe they will, maybe they won't. It's not really my choice to make."

Selphie would have to leave that one up to the powers that be on whether or not she'd be reunited with old friends or not. For now though, they were only part of cherished memories.

"I've got a lot to tell you, Rin and it's gonna take awhile so..."

A clubhouse!

Rinoa stays silent, not sure how to respond to that. Somehow she feels like no matter what she says in response to Selphie's thoughts on the matter will be the wrong thing. Eventually she settles on neutral, just like her friend had.

"Well, wherever they are I hope they're okay. I owe them for keeping you safe." She gives her hand a squeeze. "Seriously, Sel, I can't tell you how glad I am that you're here with me."

If Selphie's in a sharing mood, Rinoa is more than happy to listen. But she's also heard that staying out here for too long isn't safe, so maybe they should relocate for the chat.

"Whatever you want to tell me, I'm here. But this spot isn't going to stay safe for long, so maybe we should talk on the ship, or back at the house if that would be better for you." It sounds like this is going to be pretty draining for Selphie and Rinoa knows that she herself would rather talk in the place that she felt the safest if she was about to pour her soul out.

With a tree rope?

Selphie can only hope that her friends are okay but there will only be one way to confirm that for a fact. She knows that Rinoa is right but if Selphie doesn't explain things now, she may never do so in the future. It takes her a few moments to collect herself before sitting up straight before rising to her feet. After smoothing the wrinkles out of her dress, Selphie holds a hand out to Rinoa to help her friend up.

"C'mon... we'd better get back then." Selphie offers with a tired, incredibly guarded smile.
