Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-35720834-20181124215452

So... One of my favorite moments in Lodestar was when Sophie found a bead on her pillow. On the bead was a beautifully painted bird, and on its wings, there's a tiny message that said, "Meet now." It was a small, simple item with a simple message, but it carried enough symbolic meaning (the beaded necklace for those who can't remember) for Sophie to instantly recognize that it was from Keefe. Sophie was ready to go see him but was momentarily stopped by Fitz...

''"He couldn't have left a note?" Fitz asked. "A note's a lot harder to explain if anyone found him sneaking out with it. And maybe he didn't want to waste time rummaging around my room for paper and a pen. All that matters is, he wouldn't have gone to this kind of trouble if he didn't have something important to tell me. Or he's in danger and needs my help. Either way, I know it's risky. I know I won't find anyone who'll tell me this is a good decision. But I'm going. And I understand if you don't want --" "No way am I letting you go by yourself," Fitz interrupted. "Letting me?" "Whoa -- easy on the glaring..."'' (He says more but I'll stop it here.)

I love this passage because it shows how much she cares for Keefe. So much so that she would even snap back at Fitz, the guy she has a crush on, for trying to convince her to stay. Keep in mind that she still had doubts about Keefe joining the Neverseen but she's willing to risk it see him. It's. So. Cute!
