What does he even mean by what he would not deny the Fool?
Some things are crystallising, and Fitz curses himself for an idiot. This
is entirely unfair to the Fool, to be thinking frantically, to try to find
the words to define his heart. Far better to present the Fool with a firm
understanding so that he might say yea, or nay, as he wishes.
The Fool's gentle fingers press against his heart.
"I have never been wise," he quotes softly. "Oh, Fool, I... there is too
much in our current existence to consider deepening our relationship, too
much pain and distress and guilt, for it is my fault that you are near
death. Perhaps I must explain, first, before anything else."
The anything else... can he even ask the Fool this?
