|| "You are you."

Words you do not expect to encounter in such fantasy setting: city boy.

Growing worryingly short of Farseer-ly books. What ever shall I do then...

|| "The best mistake Chivalry ever made."

Aww.

Ha. Such a play this moment with Fitz and Chade catching up at Withywoods as various folks keep entering the scene one by one.

*ha* Come on now, Fitz. You dang dolt.

|| "He’s wearing heeled shoes with a plain but lifted toe.’ He cleared his throat. ‘And his face is splotched with mud.’
‘It’s ink!’ I objected."

|| "‘Don’t shave,’ he instructed me abruptly, as if I had been poised with razor in hand."

Hah. Continuous mirth from Fitz's dismay with fancy accoutrements and from being a general mess; this dressing scene with Fool and Ash is a delight.

Grinning madly at Fool's amusement at these 'crow in wig' antics.

Two whole chapters with just these two together - cozy and comforting as their very chambered setting.

Fitz appearing selective in relative blindness bringing worth slight nostalgia laced amusement. Forest for the trees and what not. Customary self-flogging may well ensue still.
