Asch makes a brief face - the romantic life of Dist was not something he planned on dealing with today - before starting on a second cup of tea for himself so that he has somewhere to look besides the gushy couple.
Not that he isn't glad that Dist found something to give him happiness. This incarnation seems so much more stable than the Dist he's used to, and it's actually a bit refreshing, to feel like they can actually talk on an equal basis.
(Some bitter part notes that to make such a change, whatever place Dist was in before can't have been a good one.)
"Was that before or after you came here?" is the gentlest way he can think of to prod at the issue. While Jay is obviously not of Auldrant, he's not from a world Asch recognizes, either.
