Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-24.18.162.237-20190728040746/@comment-39228160-20190728200549

To EverHighLove: See, I find it hard to see Keefe with ANYONE else in the series besides Sophie, simply because of one thing: they're elves. In the first book, Alden mentions that Jolie's death is even harder on Edaline and Grady because death isn't common in the elves world due to their close to immortality. In fact, I remember both DEX and MARELLA making comments without regard to their sorrow. If I remember correctly, Dex said something, like,"Maybe they'll get over it with you there" when he talked  to Sophie about her adoption to the Ruewens. You don't just get over it! Sure, you move on with your life eventually, but there are still certaij triggers that cause sadness, a melancholy in the back of your mind when they're mentioned, but always there, waiting. I should know: three of my pets all died in the same year, same month. I think abuse is treated the same way. Imagine beings told: abuse doesn't exist because our mind would break if we did! Our world is perfect, beautiful, amazing, etc, with no problems whatsoever! Then looking at the other, perfect families and thinking you're going crazy cuz no one else has to deal with this. Keefe himself didn't even reconize it! I feel like most of the cast doesn't treat Keefe's situation with the caution is deserves, besides Sophie and Tam. Even Fitz, his best friend, lashes out when the going get's tough without consideration to Keefe's feelings.You are allowed to feel anger, pain, or sadness, but don't take it out on other people while knowing what they're going through!!! And, sure, they're has been a lot character devolpment between in the characters in terms of that they're not living in the perfect world, but, like Sophie in the first book,a life time of teaching doesn't really go away. Sorry for my rant. Just food for thought.
