At one point, Fitz asked him how it was that he had suddenly become so popular at court. To this, Fool complained that everyone was taken in by his 'glamour' except Fitz...it was only Fitz who could see through it and so saw him as he was.
For some bizarre reason I was thinking about this today (I have a terrible memory, and then I'll think of something completely obscure.... I'm like a 90 year old)
ANyhoo.... I don't have the book at hand but I suspect from memory that in the first book (Fool's Errand?) when the Fool first turns up and Fitz is describing the scene it DOES seem like he has a kind of glamour ... or maybe Fitz is just super impressed to see him.....
So I think possibly the Fool somehow intentionally was able to prevent Fitz being affected by it (after that initial impression).... in fact if anyone could see through it it was Garetha .... the maid who left him the flowers on his tray..... oh she was so sweet! (not like Fitz boo! hehehe...... geees I still remember being gobsmacked that the Fool thought Fitz left those flowers)
