Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-96.52.85.31-20190128023203/@comment-37719459-20190128125448

I did not come up with this theory, but... personally I think that Alden wanted Keefe to be there for her when Fitzphie failed. Look at it logically--from three sides. Alden, first of all, wouldn't tell Keefe to stay away from Sophie. Alden is Keefe's father figure, one of the only adults who is nice to him. That just doesn't make sense.

Now let's look at the other side. Alden knows his son VERY well, and his....issues....have poisoned more than one relationship. He's not dumb--after all, he IS an elf, and he'd be able to piece that much together.

Finally, it could be nothing important, or something unrelated to shipping. That doesn't seem likely.

From this larger standpoint, the only thing that makes sense is that Alden asked Keefe to be there for her.
