Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-2600:1702:4030:1F80:58A1:541E:BF37:DD7D-20181203022148/@comment-35720834-20181203041832

You know what's funny? Fitz is Sophie's cognate. Meaning that they should know the most intimate things about each other so that their powers can work at their finest... yet he understands her less than Keefe does. It's because he doesn't know how to read her. Reading another person, understanding their body language, the way they speak, the way they act requires paying close attention to said person. The only one who successfully does that is Keefe. He knows exactly when Sophie's feeling uncomfortable and he also knows when to push to get her to talk about her worries. (And, yes, she does this to Keefe, too.)

For example, the fact that Keefe was able to guess that something happened between Sophie and Dex (the awkward confession/kiss) in Nightfall just by seeing how she acting and seeing the crush cuffs she wore speaks volumes about how much he pays attention to her. Meanwhile, later in Flashback, Fitz only knew about Sophie and Dex because Keefe accidentally blurt it out. Funny thing about this is that he only wanted to know because Keefe knows.
