#i dont think fitz is gonna be pissed. his self worth is too low to be mad the fool left him. i think he should be tho bc its funnier.

I gotta say. at the end of assassin's quest I was like "man. the fool must be like fucked up wherever he is. I bet he's like... captured somewhere, or perhaps traumatized from war and doubting his worth and purpose. maybe he resents fitz for being the one who convinced him to go to war in the first place. maybe he really did go back home like starling said, or otherwise gone to take a break from being the white prophet for a while until he can muster the courage to go face it again. because my reasoning was, if the fool was Fine and nothing significant needed to be done, he'd probably have found fitz again. and if there is something that needs to be done, then he'd NEED to find fitz to do it, because the prophet needs the catalyst. so either he's completely given up on being the white prophet, or there's a reason he's not looked for fitz yet.

so I was like alright, once we go back to fitz and the fool, I bet fitz is gonna have to like. track him down or something. it's gonna be a whole thing.

but as far as I can tell, he only didnt bring fitz bc this quest is just. something he doesn't need him for. all that the fool has needed to do is woodworking, touching stuff with the skill hand, and Pulling Strings For Funds, and none of that really necessitates a catalyst. so he just. is doin this one alone. cause it's easier. and plans to find fitz after.

so NOW instead of being like. dramatically rescued or like tracked down and convinced to his purpose again I think the fools just gonna turn up at fitz's shack one day like "hey sorry abt that I had business to take care of for a couple years. so it's crucial to the saving of the world that we go on a quest to steal this amulet from this nobleman so. pack ur bags." and that's far funnier.
