After that trial, I have a hard time seeing how any of them wouldn't see you as useful, but this would certainly make you invaluable, yes.
[He sounds really damn pleased with that idea, actually. There are quite a few reasons behind it, but perhaps the most pressing one is that being invaluable means Dist likely won't be targeted by any would-be murderers.]
They'd have to be blind not to see you as exceptionally valuable already, however.
[He will never, ever grow tired of Iago telling him he's valuable.]
I had something of an advantage this trial because I was very familiar with Klados' mechanisms, but I can obviously bring much more to the table. Still, I am glad to know that even if they are blind, at least someone has had eyes all along.
But of course, Dist. From the very beginning I've been convinced your intellect is exceptionally useful. It isn't often I meet someone more gifted than I am.
[And usually he'd tack on something at the end about how he's glad Dist isn't a tactician or mage, or maybe he'd reassert himself by bragging about his own strengths, but for once in his damn life he just leaves it as it is. It's a compliment, no strings attached.]
[Iago please. He smirks a bit at that, but it softens just as quickly. Like, he totally would've been fine with Iago humble-bragging, but he does recognize the significance of him simply voicing a compliment.]
Perhaps in some areas. But you never know, you may also be gifted in engineering. You simply did not have the knowledge of it before you met me.
Now you're just flattering me. I can't say I'm complaining, however.
I'm a quick study so who knows, perhaps I'll exceed your expectations. Either way, I can promise you I'll work hard to learn everything you're willing to teach me.

[So...he'll offer the same in kind.]

[It's not all out of fondness, c'mon...
That said, he's just as pleased by Iago's eagerness to learn as he was in the past.]
Would you like to begin in the coming week? I believe we could both use a good distraction from all of this nonsense.
[Engineering lessons and a boutique party, how lovely.]

[And then, perhaps a bit too genuine:] I really am looking forward to it, Dist.

[Iago will finally know what a fonon is.]
