Keefe should have told her. I don't care if it was "for the greater good". That was Grindelwald's motto and Grindelwald is EVIL! @Mint-chocolate-mallowmelt

Can I have some mallowmelt? I don't ship Sophitz, but...

1. Yep, he's smarter. If you want to see it that way. He took first on midterms by one thing, leaving Keefe in second place. Fitz seemingly felt proud of course (Correct me if I'm wrong) and felt he deserved it, all while not noticing Keefe's pain with his dad. SWM put this in there for a reason. Fitz believes Sophie is so great (insert compliment scene details) and all that, but in reality he feels he deserves her. He thinks they are destined to be matched because of his birthright and her greatness. But people are not items--They shouldn't be deserved. And back to Fitz's intelligence--buying a teal heart necklace was a brilliant thing to do. It's her favorite color after all. But what does it actually say....It's one of the first things people notice when they look at Sophie. While threads of it trace back to a considerate gesture it implies more than Sophie's waiting at ot being boyfriend/girlfriend thing...I've even heard people go to the extent that the necklace treats her like a claim and possesion While I may not go that far---Whatever he though with his intelligent mind when getting the necklace cerainly also sent some messages and implied something as well

As for cuteness, let's think about Dex, or better yet--Iggy.

2. She said suspicious--Is it perfect at all or is it as we have been led to believe perfect is in this series. Is it like the Lost Cities? With so much well on the outside, but on the very foundation, already broken? Plus see her point three...

3. Give me five examples. He yelled at her in that fungi cave....He cried to her and they grew from that and what ever you consider others. Sophie still holds onto memories from Fitz's various things. I will not hold him to fault for Exile but in so many cases in harms anyone in the way of what he wants. Think of Vee's example, and then of the times he rubbed salt in to old wounds. He brings up Keefe's family multiple times in "Jokes" and reminds Sophie of uncomfortable topics, sometimes just so casually complimenting her about implanted secrets in her head. She squirms at those little things. They can get over that. What I'm focusing on is small--But would it be worth it  for Sophie to live in that kind of environment. If her feelings, or infatuation wear away what would be left? A stable friendship or a stiff feeling? The small things she only so much as squirms at but never questions. She excuses him. The larger things (yelling type conflicts), she never faults him for... So what happens to the balme? And what's left to their relationship if you tear away just a few elements?

4. Keefe was foolish, but holding this against him is like holding Exile against Fitz...Also that line was an excuse to go to the means necessary--It sounds like Fintan could borrow it. If anything, Keefe would say "Because I had too". He didn't of course, but his guilt, the elvin flaw was pulling at him.

And we know Dumbledore coined that phrase--He turned out quite fine
