“Sophie flung a pillow at his head.

Or, she tried to.

Throwing with her left arm was much harder than she expect, and...

She ended up nailing Magnate Leto in the face.

Keefe doubled over, clutching his sides and gasping between choking laughs: “THAT...WAS...THE...GREATEST...THING...IVE...EVER...SEEN!”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Why else would you spend so much time helping Miss Fosters causes?”

“Uh... you’ve seen how cute she is, right?” Keefe asked.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Keefe’s smile looked determined as he stepped back and took Sophie’s hand. “I’m always with you, Foster. What ever you want, I’m in.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Keefe tried to break the tension, pumping his fist and shouting, “LORD HUNKYHAIR LIVES! Say it now, Ro. Say it!”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“It’s amazing he made it through without me bashing his pretty face.”

“Aw, did you hear that? Ro thinks I’m pretty! I mean- I usually go for more of a roguish handsome, but...” He tosses his hair and fluttered his eyelashes.

Sophie’s lips curled into a smile-without her permission.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Yeah, what time should we arrive to catch the Great Fitzphie Ooze Fest?” Keefe asked.

“We’re not calling it that,” Sophie told him.

“Oh, I think we are. And don’t worry, Foster,” Keefe added, patting her on the head. “I’ll still love you when you’re oozy.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Hang on – what are you wearing?” Keefe asked as she threw back her covers, revealing the sparkly slogans on her tunic. “Is that a Bangs Boy reference? Because you know I haven’t let him into the Foster Fan Club, right?”

Sophie rolled her eyes. “It’s an inside joke – and Linh made this for me.”

”Yeah, well, it still breaks the fan club rules. As penance, I’m giving you a tunic that says, ‘Empaths Give Me All the Feels,” and I expect to see you wear it twice as much as Bang Boys.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Why do clothes never have enough pockets? There should always be lots of pockets... the more pockets the better!”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Sophie sighed. “You don’t have to do this.”

“If you’re talking about being adorable, I really can’t help myself.”

He said it with a wink and a smirk-which wasn’t playing fair. But she managed to stop her lips from curling into a smile.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Relax, Foster,” Keefe said, squeezing her good hand and lacing their fingers together.

“You okay there?” he whispered.

She nodded, not quite ready to use her voice.

Not ready to let go of his hand, either.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“You’re in this, like, Ultra Knight in Shining Armor mode-“

“Aw, you hear that, Ro? Foster thinks I’m her hero!”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“What?” Sophie asked, wiping under her lashes when she noticed Keefe staring. “Did I smudge it?”

“No, Foster. You look... perfect.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Linh grinned. “I think I need to get Happy Shadow Thoughts embroidered on a tunic for you- with a bunch of smiley faces.”

“I definitely think I need to see him wear that,” Sophie agreed. “Especially if it’s pink.”

“Hot pink,” Linh decided. “With sparkly letters.”

“And it should say Angry echoes-beware! on the back!” Sophie added.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Thank you,” she said as he walked her back to the Healing Center and she tried to make a note of the route so she could find the secret cafeteria again. “Tonight would’ve been... pretty rough if you hadn’t stopped by.”

“I know,” he told her. “For me too.”

“Awwwwwww, you guys are SO adorable,” Ro jumped in.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“She steeled herself for a serious shock of cold- but the reality was a thousand times more miserable.

“Aw, those little shrieking sounds you’re making are super adorable,” Keefe told her. “Ready to punch me yet?”

“S-splashing y-you s-sounds b-better,” she said through chattering teeth.

“I suppose. But we both know I’ll splash you back- and then you’ll retaliate, because you may look all sweet and innocent, but you have a feisty streak. And then it’ll be an ice-water war, and Elwin will ban me from the Healing Center and you’ll be lost without my visits, and Id rather not make you suffer like that.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Wanna bet?” Keefe countered.

“Bad idea,” Sophie told him. “You’ve won twice now- that means you’re pretty much guaranteed to lose. Especially since this bet relies on me again.”

He grinned. “Exactly, Foster. You’re always the safe bet.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“I was already planning to have us start with telekinesis, since that’s what got Foster all swoons about my skills in the first place.”

“I didn’t get swoons,” Sophie felt the need to point out.

“Keep telling yourself that, Foster. Keeeeeeeeeep telling yourself that.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“...if you lose, you’ll have to wear a metal diaper to school and call me Lord Hunkyhair from now on.”

“Uh... yeah, no,” Fitz said as Biana asked, “Hunkyhair?”

“Lord Hunkyhair,” Keefe corrected. “What? It’s accurate.” He tossed his head like he was in a shampoo commercial. “I think we need to make it a thing either way- don’t you, Foster?”

“I think you’re ridiculous,” Sophie told him.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“And you can keep the pin.”

“Uh-uh, it’s yours.”

“But you want it.”

“And I want you to have it! So how about we call him ours? Will name Krakie, and he can live right here.” He pointed to the bandage covering her right hand. “That way Krakie can protect you from the echo – not that you need protection. He’ll just be your backup.” 246

His smile softened into something that made Sophie’s cheeks warm. And her heart seem to trip over itself as he leaned close and carefully pinned Krakie to the back of her hand, right in the center.

His palm rested over her is when he finished, and she got the sense that there was something he wasn’t saying. But then his eyes skipped past her, landing on Fitz for a beat before he shifted his focus.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Embrace the sparkles, Foster,” Keefe told her. “They look good on you.”

Any other day she might’ve blushed.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Keefe marched through the doors to the Healing Center and declared, “Wow, it’s like walking into a cloud of sulk in here.”

He fanned the air away from his face as he made his way over. “I mean, I figured you be feeling a little lost about your Cognate buddy, but trust me: Fitzy isn’t worth this much angst.”

”I’m not pouting about Fitz, “Sophie informed him.

“Ah, so you admit you are pouting? “He countered, plopping on to the side of her cot with enough oomph to make the mattress bounce.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Keefe grinned. “You’re adorable when you worry. I’ve told you that, right?”

Sophie gave him her best glare, but his smile only widened.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“He reached up to wipe a crumb off her lips, and she forgot how to breath for a second— “I’m still glad I was there. If I hadn’t been...”

He didn’t finish. But he didn’t need to.

And she was glad he’d been there too.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“The teasing tone faded from his voice, replaced with something that made Sophie very aware of how close they were standing.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Keefe whistled, “Remind me never to get on your bad side, Dizznee.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“I believe in the all-powerful Fitzphie! Actually, you know what? We should call this one Sophitz, since-let’s face it-Foster’s the real talent when it comes to this sort of thing.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Keefe smirked. “If I’m right, you have to call me Lord Hunkyhair from now on.”

Sophie shook her head. “You guys are terrible.”

“That’s why you love us!” Keefe draped his arm around her shoulders.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback

“It's time to listen to your girl. No arguing—she's smarter than you.”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
“Do you have any fathomlethes around here?”

“I hope you’re not talking about the weird river-pearl thing you took in Alluveterre that made you cover your walls in scraps of paper like a serial killer,” Sophie told him.

“Oh I am- I know you’re not going to like it, Foster. But I remembered a ton of stuff last time. So how about I promise to let you help me sort through the notes again? Remember that? Such a classic Keephie moment!”
Shannon Messenger, Flashback
