The ending doesn't make sense? Spoilers Farseer & Tawny Man

[Nuytsia]

I love this thread, and I find myself agreeing with 95% of the last few posts, even if they start from differing POV's!

The Fool tells Civil at one point that Fitz is far more important to him than even a lover could be because they are white prophet and catalyst, which suggests that that this relationship at least partly explains their bond. But how much and exactly how, we don't know. It's not very clear cut.

I do wonder if the 'bond' between the Fool and Fitz is really something that wouldn't normally be 'advisable' for White Prophet and Catalyst. (rather than an explanation of it.... although it could well be both!)

I wonder what the school of white prophets has to say on such matters. You would THINK it inadvisable. As you pointed out the snippets about other White Prophets/Catalysts in the books seem to infer a far different type of relationship.
