Exactly! She wants to but she can't, since shes so stressed. Humor is Keefes way of coping, not Sophies. Sophie needs someone who can help her understand. So far all Keefes really done has stressed her out more (betrayal and everything). OFC for his reasons, but that had an effect on her and he didn't trust her to tell her what he was doing. IM NOT SAYING WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG! Quite opposite, in fact! He did what he thought was best for them all, and he did it for her. But it didn't really help, did it? Keefe has to deal with his problems, and he needs someone who can help. Sophie is way too busy to actually sit down and help him figure everything out. After Neverseen are defeated, she might, but she won't need him anymore. She needs someone who can help her understand, figure out, place puzzle pieces together, while helping her enjoy it. Humor has never been her way of coping, and that won't change. Even Keefe knows he has to be there for her as a FRIEND. Because that's what she needs from him. She needs someone to support her, and that's what hes good at. But for a partner, she needs someone strong. Keefe has been through a lot and that definitely makes him strong, but inside he's a angry, scared boy, in Sophies own words. He gave up on changing for her in his short story. “From that point on, he only had one goal: to be whatever Sophie needed. Not the hero. Not the one taking charge of everything. Just a guy ready to listen and help and be there for her. A friend. Until she was ready for more.” See? He knows shes not ready for him yet, and she might never be. She needs him as a friend who can support her. Yes pity for Keefe is all good but it has to work out for both of them doesn't it? Anyway I would write more but its getting late here-- ill continue in the morning <3
