[She makes a gentle snorting little noise at that - well, of course he's going to be weighty! It's not a big deal. But since she would like to be able to push him more comfortably she might go back to weights for a little bit - administrative work has made her a bit lazy and weak.]

Okay, so I have two reasons. [In truth she could probably just practice with him instead of using actual weights! But that's not the point.]

[Nariko was certainly feminine enough but a voluptuous body didn't make for the most stereotypically 'adorable' sort of girlfriend. It was difficult for a regular man to pick her up or even be the big spoon at times, and the above average strength didn't exactly help. Boxer could probably pick her up and toss her if he wanted to, and there was something endearing about it - it wasn't the easiest thing in the world for her to vocalize, but it was an incredibly positive thing.]
