Fitz keeps his expression very bland as the man looks him over. It flickers for a moment when he mentions the Fool, however, but he quickly smooths it once more. This must be 'Devin Parker'. He begins storing away tiny observations of his own based on how the other man moves, how he speaks, how he assesses Fitz. Best to keep his more public facade in place until he has some idea of who this man really is and what he wants.

(Besides, as he hears Kettricken's voice advise him tartly, it is at least within the realms of the possible that Devin will turn out to be someone he can trust, at least a little.)

"Indeed," he says mildly. "I hope you're able to assist him in this. Whatever happened must have been unpleasant."
