^^ I like that you have actual points to make, lol. But I guess I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. I don't think Keefe just wants attention, and let me explain why.

First off, the example you gave, I feel, wasn't really showing that he wants attention. That was just Keefe trying to embarrass Sophie- we all know he adores teasing her. Most of his loud remarks and jokes are just him messing around, and everyone knows it- though an exclusive few know that he really does like her, but I really don't think it's him trying to get attention.

Second, Keefe and Sophie's more meaningful moments have been very very private. The ride with Silveny in Exile, the window-slumber-parties in Neverseen, the talk when they thought Lady Gisela was dead, the moment under the Panakes tree (that wasn't really that private since Grady and Edaline were there, but they left soon enough), her trip to the Shores of Solace- I mean, Keefe made a point of getting Lord Cassius to scram so they could speak alone. Whenever something really meaningful happens between Sophie and Keefe, it's always a private, intimate moment, which leads me to believe that Keefe isn't seeking out attention.

Third... okay, this is gonna sound like a Keefe-worshipping-fest, but that's not what I mean for it to sound like so bear with me... if Keefe wanted attention, he could easily get it himself. He's super smart- a grade ahead and still slacking off- he's an unusually powerful Empath, really good-looking even for an elf, has incredible artistic abilities, from a fairly esteemed family, and has a hilarious sense of humor. He could get all the attention he wanted on his own- he doesn't need to be around Sophie to be noticed- I mean, he has a tragic enough life that he could go around parading his past and get popularity just from pity points. But he doesn't. He spends time with Sophie because he genuinely likes her. He might draw some attention every once in a while when he's around her because it's easier to tease her that way, but I don't think he's seeking out the attention.

So yeah, that's what I think. owo Sorry if any of that came out offensive- it wasn't meant to be.
