She did all this without asking for anything in return, teaching me hand to hand combat, helping me bulk up, tweaking my diet to keep me in fighting f...rm. Thankfully she didn't have any strange notions of diet purity, so it wasn't a big or hard change. My costume was just minor tweaks, some design improvements for durability, to better hide my identity, shoes that would help me hold my ground and back up a kick, things like that.Much of my fight training went on in the holo room, solid three. "I've spent my entire childhood training with swords, daggers even poisons.
