Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-37645301-20190111233220

Here's a question I've been asking myself lately: Between Fitz and Keefe, who start/ instigate an argument or fight first, and why?

I've been waiting since book 5 for Fitz and Keefe to have some kind of argument or heated conversation. They used to be best friends, but since Keefe joined the Neverseen, things fell apart. Honestly, I'm disappointed that they haven't talked things out yet. They had one very brief conversation in the beginning of NIghtfall and...that was it. Flashback really showed just how damaged their friendship has become, with Keefe trying to be there for Fitz, but also backing off for Sophie and Fitz's happiness. And what does Fitz do? Complain, constantly, all the time.

My theory is that Fitz will start the argument. It will only be after an event of great stress, after which both boys are seen with Sophie. Now, we all know that as off Flashback (spoilers) Sophie is as of now, unmatchable. We all know our girl-she's going to get super awkward around Fitz. Sophie is also more used to discussing issues with Keefe, so Fitz maybe jealous when Keefe stays around to ensure Sophie is emotionally ok. Maybe Fitz says something--a snide comment like "Shouldn't you be getting back home?" But Keefe will play it off and joke back, sensing that Sophie is too uneasy about something and not wanting to leave her alone. Fitz will keep pushing, to the point that Ro starts to get upset and Sophie asks why he's so mad at Keefe. Now Fitz is angry at her. Keefe warns Fitz (again) about taking his anger out at Sophie, but Fitz goes off on Keefe. Keefe decides its time to leave, but Fitz makes one more comment that goes too far and Keefe just stops. Fitz finally lets everything he's been holding back out--the hurt of Keefe's betray, how Sophie has always gone to Keefe him, Keefe never told Fitz about issues with his parents, even though they were best friends. But then Keefe goes off on Fitz, letting out how Fitz was never there for when Alden was sick, or when Keefe found out about his Mom, that Keefe knew Fitz, as perfect Vacker, would never understand what life was like in the Sencen house. How Keefe never wanted to be a burden on the Vacker family and wanted nothing more than to be one of them. The whole time Sophie's just trying to get them to calm down. Fitz snaps at her again, prompting Keefe to tell Fitz to stop yelling at her, and Fitz pushes Keefe. The two brawl until the bodyguards break them up.

Well, that took a long time. That's my theory of how it might happen! How do you guys think it might happen? This a question for Sokeefe and Sofitz alike!
