Eddis, Attolia, Sounis

I can understand what he does for Irene, but I still don't understand how he can go around kissing Relius when Relius tortured him, you know? In KoA, Eugenides forgives Relius for what he did, because as he says, he "was within his rights." I can even understand this part, but to go as far as developing a deep enough friendship with Relius in the duration that it did... lol, like I said, it must be that Gen is a much better person than I am. I doubt I would ever be capable of that.
