Look behind him instead, to the circle of light that the fire has made, and leave Kvothe to himself for now. Everyone deserves a moment or two alone when they desire it. And if by chance there were tears, let us forgive him. He was just a child, after all, and had yet to learn what sorrow really was.
I think this can only be true if he loses romantic love because nothing else could be as sorrowful as finding all your family murdered all at the same time.
