[That gets him to smile ever so slightly, though part of him is trying his best not to get too overwhelmed by all of this and it really shows.]
Consider that offer reciprocated. Though I have to say, it has been...well, it seems like eons since I have been able to speak plainly about troubling subjects with someone. So I must thank you again for listening to my ramblings about something that doesn't mean anything to you.
[The situation sure is shitty but what has him the most thrown off is that he's met some decent people despite it all.
Yes. Yes, Iago is one of those decent people. I don't even.]
[...i can't believe i'm writing this, but dist deserves better.]
Think nothing of it. You were the one to come check on me, after all.
[...]
Though I must admit, I do feel the same. It isn't often I actually... discuss the things that irritate me.
[It's never! There isn't exactly any time to bitch when he's so busy tending to Garon and more or less keeping Nohr running. Well, okay, the war with Hoshido running, Nohr's kind of falling to the wayside but it'll be fine once he's king.]
Who would have guessed that all of this would be good for something?
[Does it make up for being stuck with murder-happy hosts with hostage incentives? N...ot really, but at least they have venting opportunities to keep them going.]
We shall have to keep getting as much use out of this situation as possible. It wouldn't be the first time I've pushed through something on spite alone.
[But it would've been way better to have people to be spiteful with like he does here.]
That's certainly true. It's apparent that most won't appreciate our accomplishments as much as we will, so I can't say I'm opposed to being a bit egotistical.
Oh, she absolutely is. Though if these incentives continue, I find it a bit worrying what she might come up with next.
[Starting strong out of the gate can't be good.]
But that is a worry for the us of the future. For now, I will continue to pursue a solution for our energy crisis. That should be a step in the right direction to finding a way out of his horrible town.
In the meantime, come find me if you come across any particularly interesting machines or electrical devices. There has to be something around this town that will provide more clues to regaining a harness on the electricity here.

I appreciate the offer as well.

I certainly never could have imagined.

...And a little bit of talent, hard work, and charm, I suppose.
[oh my god.]
no subject
But since this is Dist, he finds it highly amusing. He laughs- a rather hearty one, too.]
You suppose? Own it, Iago! We must, if no one else will.
no subject

no subject
It is hardly egotistical if it is one hundred percent factual! That is how I have always preferred to see it, at least.
no subject
[>lead tactician of nohr?????]
no subject
As you should be.
[That said, though...]
Well Iago, I do hope this conversation helped somewhat. We cannot afford to dwell on their desperate attempts to sway us for too long.
no subject
[And that's... uncomfortably genuine.]
I don't intend to remain troubled by it for much longer. She certainly is desperate if she's choosing to start with this.
[He'll be fine, don't worry. You did good, Dist!!!]

[He presses a hand to his chest and ducks his head a bit; it's close enough to a bow, probably.]
I do hope we're able to find a way out soon. Should you need any assistance, let me know.
[not like he'll be much help with anything technology related but y'know....... it's the thought that counts???]
no subject
[He'll go ahead and rise to his feet.]
In the meantime, come find me if you come across any particularly interesting machines or electrical devices. There has to be something around this town that will provide more clues to regaining a harness on the electricity here.
no subject
Of course, I'll be sure to keep my eyes open.
And... thank you again, Dist.
[...it actually means a lot to him, okay...]
no subject
This time, Dist is the one to give a little bow. Naturally with a flourish, because he is extra.]
You are very welcome.
[As he takes his leave,]
Do take care.
