We all remember Fool's prophetic words to Fitz in AA, "Fitz fixes feists fits. Fat suffices', and hopefully it took you all as long to get your head around it, as it took me 
!
Later on in Fool's Fate, Fool referred back to it and asked Fitz how he knew what to do, as his Catalyst, even back then.
Was there a greater meaning to this prophecy or am I right in my thinking that it was just a precursor for the incident that took place in Baykeep when Fitz saved Lady Grace's small dog from choking on the poultry bone?
Fitz, via his Wit, knew of the dog's distress, which one could say had the dog in a fit? As a small dog, the dog itself fits the definition of a 'feist' but even further, Lady Grace endearingly names it directly as 'My little Feisty' at one point. That Fitz then goes on to use nothing more than a hook and the age-old lubricating properties of butter, which could be said to be/contain a form of fat, to get the bone free, it seems to confirm that fat did suffice?
While this may not seem a significant enough event for a prophecy from the White Prophet, surely it can be said that Fitz proved to change much through the saving of the dog and his advice to Lady Grace, which ultimately put an end to tension between Rippon and Shoaks Duchies? While he was certainly lucky to have been given the opportunity to save the dog, Fitz could also receive a fair bit of credit here for his 'seeing far' in this situation and using diplomacy to bring about peace?
I love the mystery that surrounds this ceremony and believe that, yes, Fool would had to have been present, wouldn't he?!
