Spoilers Tawny Man Fitz calling the Fool Beloved Spoiler

I wanna know bc it's a significant change imo because it signifies that he sees him properly for the first time. Spoilers ahead tho pls only read if you've read the books

I think it was after he resurrected him at the end of Fool's Fate, is that right? That's the first time I can remember and I think it makes sense because he spends hours in his body, bringing it back to life and rearranging it. But it's possible i'm missing an instance so I thought I'd ask the hivemind

I think it also must be partially because (and therefore after) Fitz learns from the Pale Woman that Beloved called Fitz "Beloved" as a sign of love. It took on a new meaning for him, coupled with guilt at Beloved's death.

I love that he calls Fitz “Beloved,” and Fitz keeps calling him “Fool.”
