[d-don't say things like that with a straight face, you're going to embarrass him...
But thankfully Dist isn't dwelling on that and Iago's perfectly fine with holding him close for a little while longer. He's never been one for physical affection like this, but it's easy with Dist. Things seem to always be easier with Dist.]
Thank you, then. You've been excellent at supporting me throughout all these difficult and trying times. I'm not sure where I'd be without you.
[Dead, probably?? But that's hardly the point and not something he's going to stop and think about right now.]
I intend to keep to myself for a little while so most of the others will have little reason to be irritated with me. [He figures the motive will be a good distraction, at least.] I'm certainly not going to stop working to learn more about this place, however. I wouldn't dream of giving up now, after everything else we've gone through.
[In other words, he's going to be kind of a mess for a little while, but he'll get himself sorted out eventually. He has to remain useful to the group so they don't turn on him and Iago always does better when he has something to focus on anyway.]
