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

[Farseer]

It was the glove-less thing really, as it's a rare occurrence for them to be taken off which made me think she was using her 'skilled' hand for some purpose when carving.

I'm sorry to back-track even further in this thread but I just thought this use of a gloveless hand thingy for Amber was no different to Fool using his bare, Skill-silvered fingers to carve Starling's harp, Lord Golden's use of charms etc, or to work wood in all of its forms even better than he had previous to the transfer of Skill silver from Verity?

Even further, in the case of Amber carving a likeness of Fitz to replace Paragon's damaged face, Amber would not only have used her Skill touch to assist with the actual working of the wizardwood (just as she did with her beads and bowls etc and just as Verity and Kettle did with the carving of their stone dragon) but possibly she also used the love and/or her Skill-link between she and Fitz to assist with the accuracy of her carving? Though she'd not have forgotten what he'd looked like, Amber had been gone from Fitz for quite some time and thus her connection with him via the Skill would have also aided in the carving-from-memory process?

The presence of gloves for Amber would simply have been to disguise the discolouration of her fingers? As happened onboard Paragon with Malta and also when she placed her hands in Paragon's/Kennit's blood place, Amber went ungloved whenever she required the full use of the Skill. It doesn't say that she touched Wintrow at all but possibly Amber touched him ungloved at one point and it was this Skill connection that created the 'lightning' feeling he experienced. In any case, the state of her fingers was easily noticed by outsiders, as we can tell from Keffria's reaction to seeing them after Malta has collapsed? After that episode, Amber quickly replaced her gloves...
