"Oof...okay, okay...yeah, I know...bonding and all that...Shiva, can you let go, please?  That's a reeeeaaaallllly tight hug...."

Nathan lets out the breath he'd been holding once Shiva lets go and Ventus finally backs down.  "Thank you, Ven.  And Shiva...thank you for stopping me earlier...I need to tend to Kirlia real quick, get him healed up.  His arm will probably still be in that sling for awhile, but at least it won't be getting any worse...if either of you want to talk...about anything...just let me know."  There's clear hints of both joy and sadness behind that last remark.

Kirlia is relieved too, and dutifully sits down and follows Nathan's instructions as the trainer begins applying potions to the wounded areas on his arm.  It stings, but it could have been worse.  WAY worse.

(@Iron, how much lethal damage does the Sitrus Juice heal?  Is it one, the same as a Potion?  If it's just one, he'll just use all 3 Potions that he has after Ven gave him the healing items to heal all 3 points of lethal damage, and save the Sitrus Juice for later)

(The Sitrus Juice Heal 2 Lethal Damage, or 4 Non-Lethal Damage, so a Potion and the Juice would be all that it takes for you to fully restore their HP. Their arm will still smart, but it won't get any worse!)

(Ah, okay.  In which case...)

When Nathan finishes applying the potion and the Sitrus Juice, he looks at what he has left still.

Two potions.  

Everything Ven had given him had been enough to help the wound begin proper mending, it seems.  

He takes one of them and hands it back to Ventus.  "Here.  Can't leave you completely potionless, right?  Don't worry, I've still got a spare for emergencies, and I can pick up some more when we get back to town."  

He then heads back over to Kirlia, to make sure he's okay.  An arm injury wasn't so bad, since Kirlia wasn't super dependent on his arms in battle...but his dancing might not be as fluid while it was injured.  Just thinking about it saddened both him and Kirlia...   

(If there's any questions your characters have for Nathan, now's probably the time to ask him!)

(Oh, and healing Lethal Damage doesn't restore HP, even if it was inflicted by a lethal move, right? @Iron)
