The Fool (spoilers for all RotE books, including LST)

[KekPafrany]

Fitz writes: all that night , I cradled him in my arms, as closely as if he were my child or my lover....I let him take whatever comfort he could in the warmth and strength of my body.

Well.. First of all: Fitz might write about Fool as "he" because

- he might want to keep the Fool's mistery in secret. And not even in a journal or memorial can you be honest if it comes to secrets

- he might want to.. I can't say it properly, but it's a way to keep your distance from "her" or anything what the Fool could be and can be in the future.
