It would be nice. Fitz could certainly use other friends, especially people who care about the Fool.

Fitz isn't about to show a great deal of reaction to this man, and he thinks that perhaps Devin isn't aware of just how much the Fool has been through previously... or just how much the Fool made it plain that he does not wish Fitz's interference. It is not that the Fool's current wounds are nothing and Fitz does not care; far from it. But compared to finding him tortured to death, finding him bruised and battered was not so very bad.

'Complicated' is not incorrect.

Fitz keeps his expression mild with an effort, but his eyes flicker at the last line. "If I can assist you, let me know," he says stiffly.
