I think that flirting girl was needed only for showing the difference in aging between Fitz and Molly.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I've finished my re-read now (so good), so I must have just come up with that idea the first time I read it,

mistaking the part where Fitz says that Shun looks vaguely familiar, to mean that she was the flirty girl rather than that she was an illegit Farseer.

Looking too deep!

Also, I found a discussion on the timeline over at reddit if anyone's interested: http://www.reddit.com/r/robinhobb/commen...the_books/
