[To Rideaux's credit, while Dist gives him a look of disgust for that crude wording, he does stop to think about those words for a moment. He has no doubt that at the beginning of all of this, the two of them only warmed up to one another so quickly because they were all too eager to exchange flattery and validation for the accomplishments that they felt were overlooked by their peers. Despite their tendency to work alone, they aligned with one another to keep themselves safe. But...they've since seen each other at their lowest and talked about their struggles back home- absolutely none of those conversations were disingenuous in Dist's eyes. Iago truly has become his friend, and he's not going to allow Rideaux's petty remarks to invalidate that.]

That is not what is happening between us, but think whatever you like. I am well aware that nothing I say at this point will change your opinion.

[Though it honestly makes Dist wonder if Rideaux has ever had an ally like what he has found in Iago...

But he allows himself to drop that line of thought when the GHS is slid his way. He squints at it before picking it up to examine it (thankfully he has since changed his dirtied gloves for a clean pair).]

What is this?
