“'I know. It’s one of the things I like about you." Her stomach filled with fluttering things, which flitted around even more when she noticed how close they were now standing. The toes of their boots were almost touching, and his breath felt warm on her cheeks.”

—Keefe Sencen, in Book 4: Neverseen

Sokeefe or Team Foster-Keefe is the romantic/friendship pairing of Sophie Foster and Keefe Sencen. Sophie and Keefe trust each other and try to be there for the other. For example, the window slumber parties in Book 4: Neverseen when Keefe was upset about his mom, Lady Gisela. Sophie has had "fluttery moments" with Keefe that she calls her heart going into "hummingbird mode." As the series progresses, Sophie grows closer to Keefe. Fitz seems to realize that to some degree and becomes jealous of Keefe. Keefe clearly likes Sophie, as stated in Keefe’s Short Story. Sophie admits to liking Fitz but has shown signs of liking Keefe as well.

One of the various reasons Sophie and Keefe fit so well together is because they both know what it feels like to be different. Keefe has his parents, and Sophie has her brown eyes and all her different abilities that some don't seem as special. Especially in Book 4: Neverseen, Book 5: Lodestar, and Book 6: Nightfall, Sophie and Keefe grow closer as they rely on each other to move on from their losses. Keefe is always putting Sophie before anyone else, and Sophie the same. They always try to keep each other safe, even if they don't think it through, like when Keefe joined the Neverseen, trying to act as a spy. He's constantly trying to act like a hero for her, and it is said that she impresses him.

Sophie cares about Keefe a lot. Every time Keefe gets hurt she gets worried and does her best to keep him safe and as far away from danger as possible; yet, Keefe always comes back for Sophie.

Keefe is always the first one to volunteer for anything Sophie plans and was the first one Sophie let into her plans and secrets. Keefe dubbed them team 'Team Foster-Keefe' in Book 2: Exile.

In the first few books, Sophie clearly states that she has a crush on Fitz. However, in Book 3: Everblaze, those feelings begin to shift towards Keefe. In the latest books, Sophie cannot decide between Fitz and Keefe. Sophie also tries to keep herself from liking Fitz in Book 6: Nightfall to improve their Cognate relationship. Some theories arise that Shannon introduced the Cassius Sencen Head Vs. Heart theory to foreshadow Sophie liking Fitz in her head and Keefe in her heart, but this has not been confirmed.

In the Keefe Short Story, Keefe admits his feelings and says he will tell her soon, that he was waiting for her to trust him first. But, he is too late (see paragraph below).

However, in Flashback, Fitz and Sophie confront their feelings for each other, which makes them start a relationship, causing the relationship of Sophie and Keefe to possibly be lowered slightly, but nothing is confirmed yet. Keefe tells Sophie he is happy for them and thinks they are "perfect for each other" but fans can see he is upset as well. Sophie feels a rush of "tangled emotions" at Keefe's upset face too, making fans wonder if she's feeling regret about her relationship with Fitz or simply sympathy for Keefe.

-# Even though when it's revealed that Mr. Forkle is a twin who's alive Keefe is as torn as the others from mixed feelings when it's his turn to ask questions he instead goes over to Sophie and asks how she's holding up and Sophie replies that she's fine. Mr. Forkle comments that he's keeping his promise of taking care of the Moonlark, saying that he never doubted that he would.
 # Keefe gives his cape to Sophie insisting that they can't have her freeze and reminds Sophie that she didn't refuse Fitz's gift when she was given the honor to throw Alvar's award. Sophie didn't want Keefe to be cold, so she scoots closer to Keefe and pins it around both of them.
-# Tam scores one for Keephie and Grady sighs/groans when Tam says that. Linh comments that her brother just likes to make trouble, but Keefe for once says he doesn't care and scoots even closer to Sophie, resting his head on her shoulder.
-# Then Sophie shoves him away and tells him he can freeze now and Keefe says that it was worth it.
-# Keefe complains to Mr. Forkle he doesn't want to go on another super long journey, slumping against Sophie's shoulder.
-# When Grady asks how worried he should be, Sophie (pretending she thinks he's talking about the new argentavis at Havenfield) states that she's unsure from the dangerous look the Havenfield's new pet gives. Grady was actually talking about King Dimitar and complains that she's been spending too much time with Keefe and that she's starting to sound like him.
-# Keefe says he's so proud that his little girl is growing up and getting so snarky, pretending to wipe tears from his eyes.
 # Keefe holds Sophie's hand when they're talking about the attack on Havenfield.
-# When Keefe 'overshares' about his dad Sophie wants to comfort him but doesn't know how.
-# When Keefe says that if there was a possibility to catch his mom he says he and Sophie would be having a slumber party. Grady refuses such idea and Keefe questions if he's afraid of being pranked, but Grady says that's not what he's worried about.
-# When Sophie asks Keefe where he's staying, he doesn't tell her and changes the subject to her sister.
-# Sophie and Keefe talk about Sophie's crush cuffs from Dex and Sophie and Dex's in a more serious tone that seems worried, than changes it to teasing.
-# Sophie notices that Keefe's jerkin is snug in the shoulders also noticing his extra muscle that he got from the Neverseen's training.
-# When Keefe saw a glimpse of Sophie's true feeling he said it was very enlightening and won't tell Sophie what emotion he felt when she enhanced him in Lumenaria. He says that he can't tell her because emotions from the heart and the head are very different, and once you know about your heart emotions, they change. When she enhanced him, he got a glimpse of her heart emotions.
-# Before Sophie turns away, Keefe, not wanting her to lose any sleep, says that he hasn't registered for his matchmaking scroll. Sophie asks why, and he wants to see how a few things shake out.
 # Sophie worries about the fact that she could have lost Dex (when she kissed him to prove they weren't compatible), but Keefe reassures her that she hasn't and will most definitely not lose him either and says to trust the Empath. When she didn't smile, he leaned in and whispered, "And here's another thing you can count on. You'll never lose ''me''. No matter how any of this ''stuff'' goes down." There was a softness to his voice. Maybe even a sweetness. And for a second, Sophie's breath seemed to catch.'
-# Keefe leans back and says he has too much fun annoying her which Sophie notes that it's one of the things that he's best at. Keefe says that she adores him for it and should check if they're meant to be. He puckers his lips.
-# Sophie shoves him and Keefe whines how come the Dexinator gets the smooch test and he doesn't. Then he points out that they've both kissed someone before him and causes Sophie to be surprised since it's hard to believe that someone as handsome as he hasn't had his first kiss.
-# He adds that he's had many offers and Sophie asks about Biana, but he replies that she doesn't count because it was a dare, and he's relieved she didn't turn her head anymore and that he didn't have his eyes closed, or that would've been "a disaster".
-# Keefe says that Sophie's braver than him. And not just because she's faced the Neverseen but because he could never be honest the way she was with Dex.
-# Sophie wants to ask what he means but hesitates from fear that it'll ruin her friendship with Biana. So Sophie tells Keefe to "Please don't lead her on." and Keefe confirms that he would never since it's the reason why he flirts with everyone except for her.
-# Sophie takes this the wrong way and thinks the reason she is 'subjected to so much Keefe teasing' and for some reason it 'stings' where she gets a strange prickly feeling (jealousy, disappointment etc.).
-# Sandor tells Keefe that if Sophie returns home with even a scratch Grizel will decide his punishment making Keefe live in fear of the scary girlfriend. Grady, the terrifying father, adds that he can make King Dimitar seem cuddly though Sophie says if she'll be held responsible for getting hurt.
-# When Sophie hugs her parents Grady reluctantly pulls Keefe in the hug and Keefe jokes it's like he's already part of the family.
-# When they're on Lady Cadence's boat Sophie catches Keefe before he slams face first into the deck. Keefe jokes how is it possible that she's the one catching him. Then Sophie catches him again.
 # Sophie scoots close to Keefe "Partially to shield herself behind him, but mostly because he was slumped over the railing like a piece of soggy laundry." Sophie asks if he's okay.
+# Sophie holds Keefe's arms and says she has a bad feeling, but Keefe covers her hand with his and promises that he won't lose against King Dimitar.
-# Keefe says that in case he doesn't make it she needs to know something. When she leans closer she feels his breath on her cheek and she gets goosebumps, but before Keefe can say anything Lady Cadence scolds interrupts him for being too melodramatic. When Sophie asks again he says he'll tell her later as he's to busy trying not to throw up.
-# When Lady Cadence tells Keefe that there are still many rivers they have to travel through, he whimpers and asks for someone to hold him which Sophie offers to do and wraps her cape around him, sharing under one cape. She wraps her arms around his shoulders and pulls him down so they're sitting on the deck leaning against each other.
-# Sophie tells him to go to his happy place and Keefe inquires about her happy place she responds that it's flying with Silveny; Keefe imagines himself there too, just the two of them with Silveny.
-# Keefe and Sophie talk about going to the High Seas hideout, and Keefe says the thing he remembers the most about that trip was the fact that it was the first time he felt that she really trusted him. She thinks about how that was the first time he let her see his serious side under his mask of jokes.
-# Keefe says he likes when Sophie trusts him and she says "So do I."
-# He asks if she trusts him, and Sophie reminiscences the time when Keefe escaped the Neverseen where he camped out in a cave that was dark and freezing just in case she needed him in Lumenaria. "She hadn't known at that point just how devastating Lumenaria's collapse would end up being. But she knew that things would never be the same--and that Keefe was right there with her." She tells him that of course, she trusts him. He lets out a breath, and starts to reply, "One of these days-"
-# When Sophie gets no answers from Silveny when she tries to contact her Keefe asks if she's OK.
-# Keefe says he doesn't believe her and says they should talk about the favor he owes her. He asks if she's leaning toward humiliation, punishment, or servitude.
-# Sophie helps Keefe up to his feet when they arrived at Ravagog, and he drags her to a boulder.
-# When they're visiting King Dimitar, Keefe says he wants to be Mercadir because "All I care about is that you hold me accountable if something goes wrong today, and not her." Sophie says that's not what they agreed on, and Keefe says he won't let her face any of the consequences.
-# Sophie holds Keefe back before he can go with Lady Cadence and Blur and he says he knows she's mad at him. He says she can hate him, but when he found out his mom was part of the Neverseen she only gets to hurt him because it's the only way he could live with himself. He's trembling, and Sophie thinks about the different sides she's seen of him, and that now she saw a "new boy, broken into sharp, painful pieces. And the only thing holding him together was his determination to fix this mess they were caught up in." She starts to talk to him, but Lady Cadence calls them over.
-# When Keefe has to spar against King Dimitar instead of Sophie, she tries to convince King Dimitar that Keefe's special ability won't help and that he can't fight.
-# <span>Keefe calls Sophie "adorable" when she worries about him, but assures that he wouldn't have accepted the challenge if he didn't know how to handle it.</span>
-# Keefe undresses his tops where he has, "a rather impressive amount of muscle tone when he added the shirt to the pile draped over," Sophie's arm.
-# Sophie holds Keefe's arms and says she has a bad feeling, but Keefe covers her hand with his and promises that he won't lose against King Dimitar. Dimitar mentions Sophie, and Keefe says to keep Sophie out of it.
-# When Keefe gets slashed by Dimitar's blade he promises that he's fine to avoid keeping Sophie worried, but Sophie notices that Keefe looks pale and tries to keep her rage under control while her eyes tear up and her vision blurs.
-# When Keefe gets stabbed and pinned again, Sophie yells at the ogre king to let Keefe up.
-# Sophie thinks of healing Keefe with Panakes blossoms and tears Keefe's cape to be used as bandages.
-# When Keefe defeats King Dimitar, Sophie doesn't clap or focus on anything around her, she just runs to Keefe's side to bandage his wounds.
-# Keefe tries to make light of his wounds and assures to Sophie that he's alright, but Sophie was having none of it so she commands him to show her his injury.
-# Sophie starts to see rage and couldn't hold back, but suddenly she felt a cool rush breeze through her saying to be calm and relax. The black and red colors faded away to an ice blue that resembled Keefe's eyes color.
 # During that time Keefe took off Sophie's glove and crush cuffs and twined his fingers with hers where he helped calm her down by channeling her emotions.
-# Sophie was too worried about Keefe to pay attention to what King Dimitar was saying to his daughter, Ro.
-# Elwin claims that either Keefe beat or is tied to Sophie from the number of visits to the Healing Center; Elwin plans on putting Keefe's photo next to Sophie's which Keefe finds himself to be proud of.
-# Ro refers to Keefe as "Your boy" when talking to Sophie.
-# Ro crinkles her nose and asks about a "stench", and when Sophie responds that it's fresh air, Keefe says "Awww, my girl keeps getting snarkier and snarkier!"
 # Ro calls Keefe's and Sophie's fight a "lovers' quarrel,” and Sophie tries to deny it, while Keefe whispers that Sophie isn't ready to face her feelings.
