Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-37582711-20190128154703

Hi!!! So I was scrolling through the comments, and I saw the whole Alden and Keefe theory was talked about.. and like that whole part of the book has been bothering me, in a way

So some people were wondering if what Alden had told Keefe was actually bad- like he wasn't telling Keefe to stay away, or maybe that it could even be that he was encouraging Keefe. But... I think that it must've been something not super... great. Because do you guys remember Keefe's reaction the first time, right in the beginning of the book, that the convo with Alden was brought up- Sophie says something like "I bet Alden asked you to be here as a friend, too"- and Keefe's stops smiling as soon as that's mentioned (also Ro's whole "he said a lot more than that" and Keefe's glare at Ro). And then when they're in the healing center, and he says "and I promised Alden" and then just breaks off and kicks the bed... and he was pretty emotional during this part (This right when Sophie is rescued and is int he healing center, so Keefe was scared she was going to die), so his true emotions would be on show right then... and obviously whatver he promised Alden wasn't going to help sokeefe, if you kinda get what I'm saying

Also, Ro just seems muuuucch more hostile towards Fitz in this book. In nightfall, she kinda seems indifferent towards sophitz, and like she doesn't really insult them or anything (she cheers on sokeefe, but she doesn't really bash sophitz).... but in this book, it's like Ro thinks that something about Sophitz is almost... unfair?, I don't  know- it's just Ro seemed more against Fitz in general... maybe that has somehting to do with the Alden-Keefe convo? Lol, now I'm really guessing too much! I'm sorry if this makes no sense :)

My point is that whatever Alden told Keefe, that conversation wasn't very Keefe- benefitting- it might've not concerned Fitz, but whatever it was, I just don't think Keefe was helped by it- instead it was Keefe deciding to help. In my opinion, I think it must've been maybe Alden unknowingly asking Keefe to kinda leave space for Fitz and Sophie, without Alden knowing Keefe liked Sophie a lot, or just Alden saying, "Look, I know you like Sophie, but Fit is going to struggle, and he needs her, so kinda back out"
