April preened a bit at Illya's compliment and, while April knew Mark's reaction was understandable, she wasn't going to let it dissaude her.

"Perhaps, Mark, but Illya's taught me to make use of it."

Looking over to Mark, Illya shrugged.

"Her opponents will not get any shorter or lose weight to make a fight more even, will they?"

"Well, no. Still?"

"Consider it evening the odds."

Mark drew in a deep breath, then nodded.

"Right. I can do that."

Illya gave April the signal to repeat the move again. Mark managed his reaction better that time.
