Just been reading all of these posts. Sorry more questions than answers! I know its going back a bit but re the 'broken' one. Do we know the overheard conversation was between Shrewd and Chade? Doesn't Fitz talk about it sounding like one person having a conversation with themselves? Could have been Shrewd arguing with himself or skilling to someone!
I have a question re the part in FE when the Fool and Fitz are staggering back after the incident where Nighteyes was healed by Fitz, the Fool helped to bring back Fitz etc. I had missed it first time around but it seems significant. The Fool is saying how he is 'sorrier than he can ever say' for using Fitz. After this...and the quote is:
'He turned his head as he spoke to me .The openness of that golden gaze combined with the bond between us, gold and silver twining. I recognised and rejected a truth I did not want to know' What is the truth he rejected ? that he was somewhat taken with the golden gaze? that he guessed the Fool was somewhat taken with him? something else?
...and what is it with the Fool and roses?
