Ms. Audrey, perhaps a separate function would be most advisable, such as guarding the foe's attack. That... abomination seems quite fragile, and now seems the best opportunity to experiment with our other options. If it should fall too soon, we cannot gain significant information on our- rather, your abilities. We most likely will not have many opportunities before facing a more difficult foe, after all.
Kind regards,
Lady Italic

SpoilerOh, hush. You are acting similarly to an infant. It would behoove you not to make everything into a competition. As I'm sure you are aware, Lord Underline grows weary. We must make ourselves useful.
Sincerely,
Lady Italic.
