Iago shakes his head. "I need to leave first," he says softly. "To go with you on the short trip."
When he talks with CK, they're going to fight. CK is going to throw a tantrum. He's going to be angry and hurt and afraid. And Iago doesn't want to leave at that point. He'd rather leave and return before CK even knows that he's gone.
That makes perfect sense to Mikodez. Better to... well, he doesn't really do 'ask for forgiveness', but better to have evidence to prove a point than waste time arguing about it beforehand.

It's very rare he gives up the chance to play a game, and this is the perfect time for it.
