[Gods, never mind, is it too late to turn around and pretend this never happened— Yeah, it's probably too late. Damn.]
I suppose this week has been a bit... difficult.
[It sounds like it's a struggle to get that much out and Iago folds his arms, glaring at the floor.]
It's... The incentive. You understand, don't you? My magic is—
[Ugh, hang on, let him start over. This isn't nearly as easy as it sounded in his head.]
My position is the lead tactician of the Nohrian army and I serve as King Garon's adviser. This is a position I have spent years working for, but I never would have made it this far if I wasn't naturally gifted in magic. I caught Garon's eye precisely because I can use magic most others cannot.
[Iago pauses, considering.]
Having that taken away and replaced with a mockery of my own magic is... quite the blow to my pride, as I'm sure you can imagine.
[It's a start. It's not a very good start, but it's a start. Iago's gaze has remained firmly on the floor since he entered Dist's room as well, despite the fact that he usually tends to make entirely too much eye contact.]
