Small, random questions about RotE that still bother you (spoilers all RotE books)

[Farseer]

I don't think Jek would have met the Fool before he/she took the guise of Amber, simply because she knows the Fool as Amber and only Amber.

I can see that, NeverBeenWise, especially going on from Jek's reaction to Amber having taken on the role of Lord Golden. I do remember it mentioning somewhere though that Amber and Jek had been friends for quite a while, long before Jek took to guarding Amber's store, and this is what made me think that they must have known each other beforehand...BUT, possibly Jek and Amber got together very early on (as you say, maybe even before leaving the SD) during the gap of fifteen years that Fool had been away from Buckkeep. Give or take five years, they could still have managed a decade-long friendship during the 'Amber' phase. Thanks!
