Summary:

Friedrich had started to talk to him because he had thought of him as a bit of a ditz.
And now here he was. Here he was months later, bundled up in this very same man’s blankets with a cup of hot coffee in front of him, its scent mixing with that of Katte’s French perfume.

And I've always loved your snarky comment that it sure wasn't AW or Ferdinand he was talking about.

Well, Ferdinand has always shown him friendship. When he wasn't being the worst of the Hohenzollern. :)

More seriously, I always thought that Fritz would have agreed with Thomas Mann who mid feuding with his brother Heinrich wrote to his publisher "I suppose you've heard about my quarrel with my brother - I mean of course my older brother; in the higher sense I have only one brother. The other one is a nice fellow one can't argue with". With the qualification that Fritz was fond enough of AW as far as it goes for most of his life, with unresolved FW related issues that only bore fruit during the big disaster. Still, there is a reason why even as early as the early 1750s, when AW and Heinrich did their rpg game about invading Saxony and war with GB, there was no question as to which one played Fritz.

Also, I found one of the Adelheid and Teophanu posts again. And here is my Magdeburg pic spam, but alas no Otto related photo.
