Oh, I understand completely. No need to defend him. :p

If Kiara wasn't going through everything she is, she'd probably be 100x worse. Like. Literally would have drawn that knife and charged him. Buuuut, fortunately for the both of them she's got other things to worry about.

Though now that you say it, I'm super looking forward to seeing a drunk Ostus. Entertaining for me, eternally frustrating for Kiara, I imagine.
