"Step it up Peeko, you still have 99 more to go!"

It became clear that Peeko would have to toughen up if he was going to survive this new world of macros. Thankfully, Tali had graciously volunteered herself to train Peeko to improve his durability. A few basic exercises each day with a little extra weight pressing down on him ought to do it, and it gave Tali an opportunity to improve her own growth abilities too. Peeko never really agreed to the sessions, but it's for his own good! He'll surely thank her for them later. And Tali enjoyed the sessions more than she'd like to admit.

After growing to a personal best height of 6.2m, Tali weighs a whopping 3,100kg in this image. Peeko sure is a tough little guy!

Finally drew out an idea I've had for a while. Ideally some implied training sessions would broaden the number of macro interactions Peeko can plausibly survive. Also while never explicitly stated, Peeko can retract his poison spikes so Tali isn't getting harmed here. Tali gets a small redesign here too, with somewhat brighter colors and now 3 toes on each foot instead of 2.
