Yes I posted I gave you a chance to ready actions.

As for the shields Naofumi used plants, and books, and what have you at the moment you're in a considerably preferably situation where you can choose what type of metals, or woods you wanted to load your shield up. Some strong, others more flexible. In other words how well you can counter what types of attacks, and what type of moves on the basic level. Likewise we've had a few days of fighting now which let Cole pick up meteor slash which means you should be able to have a similar defensive, or stun oriented ability if you can pass it by me.
