It is a stumble, but not a fatal pitfall. Some of the anxious tightness that had wound itself about the Fool's heart begins to ease, though he doesn't relax entirely--in part because answering Devin's question is... difficult.

He smiles thinly, a bittersweet sort of expression. "Why? I am a Fool," he points out, but knows that is not an answer that will satisfy. (Though in many ways, it is explanation enough for much of his behaviour.) He looks away, letting out a slow breath. "We're at the edge of a precipice here, aren't we? The city, the archipelago--the whole of Konryu. After what we have all seen here, I realized that there was one being we had not yet tried to consult. It seems to me his perspective could be a meaningful one--if only I could truly parse what he tried to share with me."

Reluctantly, he reaches up to touch the side of his head, and admits, "It was reckless, even for me. Rutile helped me back to the cafe afterwards, though I am sure that Klaus would have preferred it had I gone directly to a hospital." He looks guiltily towards Devin again. "I will make the appointment in the morning."
