Oh, yes, I remember that Skill touch now, Paragon-Athena. It's where Amber realises that wizardwood/Paragon is so much "more than wood".
Among other things, one thing I found interesting about that passage is that for all of Fool's talk of not being as human as Fitz, Paragon here feels Amber's "humanness" being all around him (or something along those lines). Of course, there are times when Fool still feels all too human eg Tom's necklace etc but this interchange between Paragon and Amber made me think of the relative degrees of humanness within the realm, at least when seen from others' points of view eg in a similar situation, a dragon could possibly feel Paragon's humanness, which is less than that of a human, Elderling or White Prophet but more than that of a dragon and most likely a Pecksie or Other...
...hopefully you're not all thinking, "That doesn't make a lick of sense!"
