[Ever since Ken got back to base after Sol Saviour's first combination, all anyone might have seen of him in the time since is, well...]
WUOOOOOOOH!
[Him taking his training regimen to new, absurd levels. He didn't go anywhere without weights the lengths of his forelimbs. Several push ups, pull ups, sit ups, and whatever else he could think of were made before and after he entered every room. And that little gym he made for himself in the 'fake' city which covers the entrance of the base? Yeah, that's getting some real usage as he punches pretty much everything he can. Interrupt...?]

[Or do you want to try approaching him when he's in his room instead? Removing the weights as he readies for bed, Ken cringes several times over as he moves his hands over bruises, before returning to a default, sullen mood.]
...Who's there?

May have been a bit... zealous.

Dido averts her eyes politely, starring at the ceiling.
"Did the two of you at least learn a valuable lesson?"

Re: 2
[...technically the truth, but he shrugs.]
I may give some more thought on how exactly I approach my training, but... Oh, I dunno. I want to get stronger, but that just pissed Mizuki and a bunch of the others off.

She snorts. "I don't know if you've heard, but nowadays we do most of our fighting with giant, fusion-powered robots."

[Ken smirks back.]
And besides... there's another power that I need to draw out from my body. One that some machines used before me... and that Raquel uses now.

Re: 2
Dido thinks back to some of the post-mission maintenance reports.
"Oh. You mean Ki Attacks?"
She strokes her chin in thought. "Not that I claim to be an expert on martial arts or anything, but aren't you supposed to be doing breathing exercises and moving meditations instead of muscle building?"

Re: 2
I mean, I've used ki, I think, but I've no idea how to recreate what happened.

Re: 2
"Ken," She says with a grunt. "You're pretty ripped as is. Maybe it's not so much increasing muscles mass that you need, and more training to control the processes of the body. Y'know, like those yogis and Tai Chi masters who can control their temperature , heartbeat, and breathing?"

[Is all Ken can give out as Dido squeezes.]
From:
Re: 2
She opens the jar, scoops out a fingerful of spicy-smelling goop, and starts kneading it into Ken's bicep.
From:
Re: 2
[Well, that stung... for a bit.]
Not... gonna get much control over my body... at this rate.
