[In terms of physical appearance, the replica is perfect. But that is about where the perfection ends. The replica lacks any of Dist's personality and is more like a hollow shell that just looks like the original. If Iago were to encounter Dist's replica in the wild, he'd be able to tell something was wrong- perhaps even be concerned about Dist's emotional state if he wasn't aware that Dist had Klados.]
Three copies a day, yes, but not three copies at once. Attempting to summon another makes the first vanish.
[In other words, he'll never see three Dists at once.]
And it wasn't blood, no, but it had texture. Sludge-like, if I were to give it a specific quality. And it looked as though...well, it had simply melted, clothing and all.
[It was a Dist-colored puddle is what he's saying here.]
[...probably for the best that we don't have three Dists running around all at once. No one needs that many Dists.]
Well, that's horrid. I can certainly see why you didn't want to give a demonstration of that. I'm fond of my floor the way it is, so I'll take your word for it.
[And also: that's so disgusting, eww.]
This is very valuable information to have in the event that a Klados duplicate is utilized in a murder, but I feel as though the odds of anyone using their powers to kill has lessened significantly now.
[Given that almost everyone's powers are out in the open now, anyway...]
And I have no interest in cleaning up another sludge puddle, so we both win in this scenario.
[Because yeah, it's absolutely disgusting.]
It all depends, really. Whoever else has Klados—those who have not revealed their powers included—might not be aware of its limitations like I am. It has the potential to be used without leaving a trace of its use like Illusio, Sanguis or Lux, provided a sludge incident doesn't happen.
[That last bit may seem stupid to Iago, but it does have an impact on Dist. Though he tries one of those self-satisfied smiles that he is so good at, it comes off a bit softer than that.]
I am glad to hear it. Consider my door always open to you, should you desire company in the future.
[Y'know, just in case Iago isn't as open about having a rough time like he was today.]
Then I look forward to spending more time with you in the future. You do still have plenty to teach me, after all. I promise I'll be a diligent and hardworking student.
[...It's not nearly as sarcastic as it probably should have been...]
[Dist grins at that. He's actually really pleased that Iago has taken to the idea of being taught about Dist's specializations.]
Good. I expect nothing less from one of my students.
[He's never been a teacher—the thought of educating others is kind of awkward considering it reminds him so much of Professor Nebilim—but if there's one thing he's good at it, it's talking. He's bound to be thorough.]

[thanks, rideaux!!!!!]
I appreciate the information, Dist.
[...But even more than that...]
And I'm... pleased you came to check on me.
[It sounds so... stupid to word it like that. It isn't anything he's ever wanted before, and yet...
Ridiculous. He just needed someone to complain with and to distract him, that's all.]

also this entire week is just iago screaming into his hands so you know. it's fine, probably.]
I appreciate that as well, and please consider the offer returned. Should you ever need it, I won't mind offering you my company.
[It's weird and sort of uncomfortable, but maybe it's okay. Just this once.]
no subject
Well, I would certainly hope you wouldn't mind. Though really, I hardly consider seeking your company something I would do only out of need.
[He...likes hanging out with Iago, so...]
