Magic Training

"I don't have a wand, and I need to know how to throw down with someone who can overpower me." Lydia knew she needed the skills. "My usual tactic isn't always viable. Sometimes, it's what I am trying to prevent."

"I can respect that. Let's watch here, and after I will get your number, we can set something up for another day when I am in top shape." Marble took a seat closer to the cage and gestured to Lydia to sit next to him.

Lydia did so, getting in close with her hand on his knee. "Good, I'd hate to get lessons and not find some way to pay for them later."

Marble smiled at the unsubtle hint and spent the next few hours teaching Lydia about the techniques used in the cage that would help someone like her.

Lydia focused and learned all she could, knowing she would need to make an appointment to get practical training. She had to remind herself not to put out too quickly when training. Afterwards, she gave her number and parted ways, discreetly stopping to collect her pay. It was hefty with a bit of a bonus. The coach clearly not trying to cheap out on her. Lydia figured it was probably a down payment to keep Marble happy another day.
