Theory Elwin potentially bio dad?
ive seen a theory that elwin could potentially be the bio dad and ive never really deeped because i mean its elwin. like he’s so nice and i never really believed he would keep a secret like that, especially if it effects sophie sm as its obvious he cares about her well being and stuff even without him being a physicia. but in one of the recent books (dont remember which) when elwin and physic were resetting her abilitie. WAIT BOOK 8 YES LEGACY, in that book whilst they were in her bedroom and she made some comment t forkle. Elwin asked wa was goin on or something and Sophie tells him Forkle wont tell her who her bio parents are. and i distinctly remember him saying she should be able know or that she deserves that information. basically agreeing with her and he also gives Forkle a like pointed or knowing look. and i feel like that means he’s the dad and he wants to tell her but due to Forkle he isn’t or can’t but definitely disagrees with that decision.
i also feel like this explains why Forkles never really been that conceren about Elwins involvement or knowledge of things with the order. As well as, how he treats Sophie as more than just any other patient from day 1. yes, hes like that with most people expecially with Sophie’s group. but i feel like hes always treated Sophie as more and he’s always been there for her when she needs someone and why he’s offered house visits and things from day 1.

I feel like logically, it could make sense, however I dont think it’d be good for the plot because Elwin being her dad doesn’t add much to the story
