I think it DOES say something that all her endings except those with lords send her back to the plains (which means Plains win over Caelin any day of the week for any number of reasons, which is interesting all on its own).
Yes, it's interesting that Plains win over Caelin, especially as one might expect her to form some good memories of having family and friends in Caelin... after those last few months alone on the plains after the massacre. But it seems that she doesn't.
I understand that the call of the Plains is very strong for her, but it doesn't make the choice to stay with either Eliwood or Hector bad on its own. Eliwood or Hector could BE that thing that tips the balance in favor of Lycia-- and that could seriously be enough to make it worth the sacrifice. To say "never" about either of the scenarios just strikes me as well, not giving the characters enough credit.
