(At least, from all of this, her pettiness has devolved too. Her mind is a little more open, if not warily, since the argument has de-escalated, and she no longer has any leverage to keep it that way. They're talking, not yelling. She's already turned around, she's already touched his hand, so, even she knows that the tantrum timing is long gone.
At least he's cleaning the mess; that saves her neurons, but at the question... That's not exactly jealousy.
It's self-preservation. Quentin himself knows the drill: a Cuckoo's priority will always be a Cuckoo, and there is no way he knows Phoebe more than Sophie does. She's not nearly as controlling and power-hungry as Esme, but Sophie remembers almost clear as day when they found out who they are. Her reaching for the Phoenix, even when all of them had relief in their hearts that it was finally over, and the punching through the power grid that would encapsulate the Thousand-in-One in flames. Of course, Celeste did it, but you know. The intent was there, too.
The fact that she wanted it so bad, Sophie felt it. Phoebe is her favorite, but like all of them, she comes with her own set of flaws.
Wanna know what wouldn't give her any power? Sharing. Reminding. Bringing him back to a whole different time.
So, well. To answer his question, she shakes her head. It's not jealousy. It's control.)
Nope, not the right feel. She likes having power, so in what world would she remind you of something she can't control? It's self-preservation, not jealousy.
