But... Jill had to always have treated Reda terribly. He was convinced he was just a potion replacement in the beginning and nothing more. That isn't randomly given info and Jill having a knee-jerk reaction. From what we were told and sawm Reda was always treated like that (and why did no one tell him otherwise before banishment???). At no point, even the flashback where they just met and had like no interaction, did they seem to be treating him like an equal or someone they wanted around.
Also, in retrospect, how stupid was the only with him for money ex-gf to fail seeing his nearly unlimited earning potential with healer guild, even if just potion level, once he was booted from party? Do people in wherever he was have free health care for reasons of plot set up and they just didn't tell us (yet)?
I feel there's a lot being skipped here. Or I am just focusing on stupid questions.
