Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-37793398-20181216004927/@comment-35720834-20181216043952

Here I go venting again! (But what else is new? xD)

I just love that King Dimitar fight so much. Because before Keefe and the king fought, Sophie was angry enough that she actually used her telepathy to point all the weapons at King Dimitar (page 321). This! This gesture from a girl who originally apologized to King Dimitar for entering his mind in Everblaze! She's willing to go this far, to threaten a king, to protect Keefe.

Now what happened after that fight was even more amazing! She saw his wound, which was not fatal, by the way. King Dimitar is an extremely skilled fighter, so he only wanted to make him bleed. But seeing this, Sophie got so angry that she literally lost control of her powers and almost unleashed a massive amount of hurt until Keefe -- KEEFE! Until HE did something! He felt her emotions ready to explode and he improvised! And THANKFULLY was able to calm her!

Like, I can't emphasize how much I love this part. You know why? This whole time, honestly, I question what Keefe could do with his Empath abilities. In the past, he demonstrated his ability to fight and think quickly in chaotic situations, but we never got to see how he would use his actual powers to help Sophie. This scene answered that question for me. It's such a great build up because she's been having to "tie" or "knot" her emotions since Lodestar -- something she learned from Councillor Bronte! This shows that Keefe completes Sophie.
