“I’ve helped her several times before. She will probably just be excited and surprised that I want to help with yours and the others’ training.” That wasn’t completely true, but who could tell if he was lying?

He had always expected Killua to be the only one to do so, maybe Milluki. Certainly not the oldest and most respected of the children. “Is there anything I can do...to thank you?”
