Reiner is slowly but surely breaking the Forth Wall between you and him by himself now, I see. Wonder were that will lead to, exactly.....?

I see why you asked all those questions about Me First now, though! Let's just hope it'll see you through the round as the one true Dragon Master, yeah?

Don't worry, I'll make sure Mew and all get niiiiiice and healed at the right times, so don't sweat it!

Btw, how long are you staying up tonight? I'm willing to write/roll out these orders right now if you are planning to stay up for awhile. Otherwise, I'll put it off until tomorrow, ok? That, and I'll have to get started on catching up on Arial's scenes too at some point, right?

Probably gonna get some sleep soon.  Don't have work tomorr...er, today, but I'm kinda burnt out after that stressful number crunch coupled with typing it out on a non-optimal 3DS...

There's also that one Herbal Concoction to consider...4 normal HP and 4 Lethal damage (could heal 6 Lethal total, potentially...) with a bonus +2 to a random stat without counting against potion effectiveness...that could be reeaaallly useful if I'm interpretting that correctly...

I'm so glad I put all the healing items in the same category on the character sheet...

Anyways, point is, we need to optimize the healing, and trying to account for every situation is proving...difficult.  Particularly since that post is practically at the character limit (for what a 3DS can type, anyways.  Dang technical limitations!) already, so...you get what my intention with all this is though, right, Windos?

Yeah, that's the basic gist, regardless of what my orders say.  And only use a Full Restore for Reiner's fourth action if absolutely necessary (it shouldn't be I hope, but...).

As far as the herbal concoction goes, mostly just thinking about the 6 lethal damage healing without the potion effectiveness, but if Yang benefits from the item enough and its usage is warranted, then by all means, use it on him instead (heck, even if he only took 4 lethal damage, that'd be 4 lethal and 4 normal healed, which would fully heal him since he's sitting at 4 normal damage currently)!
