Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-37582711-20190206225944/@comment-37166538-20190208201824

I wasn't going to get involved in this, but their is one thing I'd like to state, politely:

When Fitz hurt Sophie, it was because he was thrusting out all his feelings in the form of anger. This happened in Exile and Flashback, and both times very unkind things were said to Sophie, when she didn't deserve them at all. It's inexcusable, especially since it's been repeated in this final book. I would like to see an apology and a promise of change from Fitz in Legacy, but even then his actions were rude, and weren't meant to do any good to anyone.

However, Keefe hurt Sophie by doing things that put himself in danger, which is very selfless. His actions were meant to do good for others. He showed that he cared more about the cause (when he joined the Neverseen) and Sophie (when he fought King Dimitar) then his own wellbeing. That's how he "hurts" Sophie, by being too selfless. Even while hurting her, he's doing it because he cares about her and wants to protect her.

Finally, my last argument is that if Sophie was truly hurt by Keefe's actions, that means Sophie cares about him. If she didn't, she wouldn't have been hurt by the worry she felt for his safety.
