== Late Life and Death ==
With the return of the Fool, Fitz begins in earnest to think about returning to life at Buckkeep. Nighteyes tries to withdraw as much from their bond as he can to hide his frequent great pain. One day Nighteyes chokes on a fish and his heart stops. In panic and grief, Fitz uses both the Wit and the Skill to return him to life, although it takes the Fool to complete itthe intervention and stop Nighteyes' death. Infuriated with Fitz's meddling in what Nighteyes feels to be the natural order of things, Nighteyes withdraws his Wit contact from Fitz.
By the time they return to Buckkeep, Nighteyes has forgiven Fitz as much as he is able to and they head out in pursuit of the runaway or possibly kidnapped Prince [[Dutiful]] and the splinter [[Old Blood]], the [[Piebalds]]. It is during these adventures that Nighteyes truly shows his age, falling farther and farther behind Fitz and the Fool, catching up only frequently enough to provide what help he can before being left behind again.
