The idea of Keefe bring extremlycawear of her emotions has been a motif throughout the series a lot. For instance, in Lodestar once she enhanced him he felt her emotions on a deeper level. The book stated that he had a large grin on his face. This inclined that he felt something beneath her outer emotions. While this theory could be incorrect, the chances are low due to the fact that he stated in the Exclusive addition Nightfall POV that he does have romantic emotions towards her.

Fitz May know her well, but he only really knows what goes on in her mind. I don’t mean that he is not aware of her feelings all the time, but he knows her thoughts more so than her feelings. Sophie is a person who has internal conflict with her mind and heart quite often. I have observed that she often choose such her heart over her mind. An example is in Exile when she went to fix herself. She went for herself, yes. However, one of her Maine reason she what to heal Alden and Prentic. That came from her heart, not mind. While Keefe isn’t her cognate, he knows what is truly in her heart better than Fitz. That was proved countless times throughout the series. Not only becuase he is an Empath, but rather because his feelings have grown to a point when he just knows. He knows when she is feeling conflicted, helpless, isolated, and much, much, more. Fitz is not aware of these things the same way Keefe is. Sophie is someone who needs a person to know her on a deeper level. While Keefe has proved he can be that person, and is that person, Fitz has not.

Some examples for Keefe:

In Nightfall when she was at the Panakes tree. Keefe was already there’s. He know she needed someone to help her relax.

In Neverseen when star group went to the Blacksawn hideout: Keefe was going through so, so much, yet best did he do? He said they could have window sleepovers.
