Like, how else would Stolas even be able to attend Via’s wedding, let alone do anything about it? He NEEDS to keep Vassago close right now. He is not thinking about romance, he is not thinking of himself or Blitz, he is thinking of his daughter.
Am I delusional for thinking Stolas didn't mean he was ready for Vassago but rather ready to do something about his situation? He sees Vassago as his ticket back into the palace to get to his daughter, and honestly? He’s about to use that leverage…idk
