The Fool tried to push him away, tried to tell him to return to the Six Duchies, to return to Molly, to Kettricken, to Buckkeep, to his life. The Fool gave him back his pains, and the subtleties of joy and despair.
And yet he tried to remove himself from Fitz's life.
This may well be dangerous for the future, and yet everything that Fitz has done has been dangerous. He cannot walk away from this man. Not again. Not again!
The Fool laughs a little, then steps back, holding onto him. Fitz is careful not to grip his back too tightly. He appears healed, but appearances are not always truth.
"I'dd intended to, once I convinced you to return with me," Fitz says wryly. "She now knows that I live, and that Burrich has - has died. Yet somehow the fates conspire to keep me with you."
He manages a smile at that. He is concerned about them all, mortally concerned, and yet he cannot be less than pleased to have found the Fool when he thought him lost.
