I agree completely. There wasn't anyone I was this close to back in Nohr. As horrid as this situation is, meeting you here really has been a blessing.
[Things with Garon were... complicated, and it isn't as though he dislikes Garon any. But they were using each other to get what they wanted from day one, and that has a way of coloring every interaction in a different light. It's not as though Iago regrets any of it; he did what he had to in order to thrive, and some part of him will miss Garon.
But that was then, and things are very different here. This is the first time he's really found like-minded people who understand - and perhaps more importantly, they want to understand. It isn't an exaggeration to say that meeting Dist has changed things quite a bit.]
Of course, Dist. It isn't a one-time offer; whenever you have questions for me, I'll always answer.
[He considers that for a moment; there is something he's been meaning to ask, though the timing is a little strange...]
I am very curious about your relationship with Jade and what exactly happened between the two of you. This isn't something I'll press on if you aren't comfortable talking about it, however.
[It is curiosity that compels him to ask, but something about it has always struck him as really weird. Jade is so important he's listed on Dist's profile three times and yet Dist is never shy about admitting that he hasn't really had someone understand him quite like this before. It's confusing, and he imagines it's exceptionally complicated, but he does want to know more even if it isn't something Dist wants to discuss right now.]
