Farseer, yeah that's true re he's still catalyst. Also, that damn Prillkrop I had a bad feeling about him as soon as he turned up. Hehehe.
Lord P I agree you could certainly make a case for the Fool being female the whole time (or male. or changing hehehe) but I like your full explanation of just how 'in denial' Fitz could be! I must admit I had ruled out 'always female' for the reason that Fitz would surely have mentioned it ..... but you make a good case. The only sticking point that springs to mind is that conversation they have afterward in Prillkrops house when they are STILL going on about whether he's interested 'in that way' etc and I think the Fool makes some reference to the Fitz/Nighteyes relationship etc. Or are you saying they're both SO in denial this is 'keeping up appearances' that the Fool's a guy (when now they both know he's not). OMG that is even possible I guess. Nooooooooooooo! (heheh I still don't like it!) (but the nuttiness of that scene if that IS The case makes me hate it less)
I think the being Amber/ saying stuff to Althea about dressing as a boy could work no matter what gender he is.
