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

[Nuytsia]

Okay So I just finished the three Liveship books and still feel like there should be another book to clear up all of the characters "Happy Endings"! ( Sorry about all the names spelt wrong even though i read all the books I still don't know how to spell them! )
But okay I have a few questions still.

1. At the end of Ship of destiny the last conversation that malta and Reyn had, Does that mean they slept together?

2. Is Wintrow the Pirate King? Or is he just the Pirate captain of Vivicia?

3. What the heck is Kennits wizardwood charm all about!? Like.. The charm was in love with Etta? and he wanted to keep Wintrow and Etta alive but at the end it never told us the exact reason for its motivation!

4. Why did Bolt want Kennit and Etta to have a kid?

5. When do we get to find out what was all in Kennits mansion on Key Island!

6.! So if the Fool is amber and vice versa and we expect that the Liveship series is in between assassins and the Golden fool Series, but why is she amber and then gold? Because You would think that Gold would come before Amber!

7. I think it was in Mad Ship Athea was about to be raped by one of the men and when she talked about him she said that he was brashens rapist?! When did we find out about that! or was I reading it wrong

And overall I just wished Wintrow would have had a killer ending where everyone would be so surprised that he had become a pirate from where he was in the beginning of the book but no one really was in awe of him, in fact I found that Selden was more glorified then Wintrow was!

Sorry For all the questions but I was pretty bent out of shape when I finished the book and would like to hear your answers!

Wow I wasn't bent out of shape until after I read the Tawny Man trilogy!

I haven't progressed far enough in my LST re-read to comment on some of your questions, but:

3. I'm also intrigued as to why the charm is so miffed at the way Kennit treats Etta. Maybe it's just a nice guy? But seriously, I don't know!

6. I'm not sure whether Amber or Gold is definitely darker, but I did notice that when Amber changes on board Paragon Althea describes her as looking 'tanned' and 'tawny'. That definitely seems darker than Gold to me! I think it's just a slight error personally, but I'd be open to explanations!
That reminds me, has anyone done a list of the times the Fool changes colour and what has prompted each one?

7. From memory what she means by 'Brashen's rapist' is that Brashen mentioned one of the crew he had obtained was a rapist. (So he's one of Brashen's crew who is also a rapist). She doesn't mean he was a man that had raped Brashen.

Re Wintrow's ending, I wished he could have gone back to being a priest
But I'm sure he's not your run of the mill pirate captain...!

I don't know if this has been talked about before (time gets in the way of post-trawling, alas) but when Amber is re-carving Paragon's face, there is a moment when she is running her hands around it glove-less and hence the skill imprint is 'active' as it were. So, now I'm wondering if the skill from Amber's hand has had any effect on Paragon? Would he have felt or known about fool's torture and death and would he have any awareness at all of Fitz? Or is wizardwood impervious to the skill? Though Tintaglia making her presence felt in Fitz's 'skill dreams' with Nettle says to me that dragons aren't impervious so perhaps their cocoon material isn't either? Gah! I'd hate to think of Paragon being tormented so..obsessed, over-emotional fool that I am.

I'm not sure what specific effect the Skill touched fingers would have had on Paragon, if any. It may be akin to the fact that dragons seem to be able to actually drink the liquid Skill itself (that got on her hands) without any ill effects (as Tintaglia implies when she visits Kelsingra), so maybe it would have a lesser effect on Paragon than on a human.
I do know that (before the face carving) Paragon says something like Amber is the only one that can stop him knowing her thoughts? (that seems a bit wrong, err it was something LIKE that). Anyway, it indicated that there were memories she purposely withheld from him, and I suspect this would continue to be the case after she touched him with Skill fingers. I'm sure she would spare him knowing her worst memories.
