Meeting with Manik!

After their showers, the two of them went out to a local restaurant. Arya, still feeling the effects of the day's training, was especially hungry and ended up eating a lot more than usual.

Once the meal was over, she glanced at Raymond, a little worried. "Do you think I ate too much? I’m afraid I’ll get fat."

Raymond burst out laughing.

"What’s so funny?" Arya frowned. "I’m serious!"

He shook his head, amused. “If you don’t eat more, how do you think you’ll keep up with tomorrow’s training? This kind of training isn’t just a one-day thing. It’ll take time and consistent effort.”

Arya pouted, realizing he had a point. Even though she was concerned about gaining weight, she knew the training was necessary. She’d have to eat well to stay energized, and there was no avoiding it.

Seeing her unease, Raymond smiled. “As for weight…"

"What about it?" Arya leaned in, curious.
