Fitz nods, and the movement is far more shaky than smooth. He does not
reach for the Fool, to give him time. To give him space to adjust. To
acknowledge that he himself has caused a great deal of pain.
......except that is ludicrous. If the Fool does not want to be touched, he
will indicate, and Fitz cannot sit here with his friend in pain and not
reach out. He touches the other's shoulder, gently, then grips.
"No," he says. "You do not even know that you have accomplished anything of
worth, Fool. You should stay here, where you may not be safe, but at least
you will be spared the end of my knife."
