Re: Thoughts(Farseer Spoilers)

It seems you are being rather harsh on molly. Some people have it in them to move on from loss, others don't. Kettrecken tries to move on, but her station and different culture hinder her attempts - she could not just select any man she wanted, remember her first marrage was an arranged one, Fitz was her choice and one of the few people she felt that she could choose of her own right, whilst being able to make it appear a decent choice for a queen - the reality of this is not pursued in the books, because Fitz rejects her advances. Also her attractions are not just on the run - remember the incident in the castle when Ket tries to introduce her wit skill to Fitz? At that stage I think Fitz was too young for it to be true love, but there was attraction which Ket did not lose for Fitz as he got older
Molly and Burrich - I think both were looking for the same confort - both had just had thier lives upturned with major events, both had lost someone they held very dear - one a child the other a lover. Thus both I think were wanting to a certian degree. Also remember that Burrich has lost Vixen by this stage as well and has not taken another companion, thus he has lost an emotional crutch from his life
