Yoga? Maine snorts in amusement at the idea. He doesn't scoff at it — Carolina is all the evidence he needs that it's useful — but it's not for him. It's too sedate. Too peaceful.
Then Brigitte starts talking weapons, immediately drawing Maine's undivided attention. He doesn't ask about the energy barrier; the technology may be different, but he can picture it well enough with tech from his universe. Something like North's domed energy shield, only as a shield instead of a dome. Light and incredibly effective. No wonder she's feeling a strain with her replacement.
The Freelancer nods, dropping his gaze to her arms. Toned, just as he remembers; they won't be starting from scratch. His eyes move quickly over her shoulders and trapezius, but it's not a thorough inspection. For all he knows, she built muscle for appearance and doesn't know how to use it — though he doubts that's the case. Best way to find out where she's at is to act.
Maine holds up his hands as her shoulder level, palms out and elbows bent, almost like he's surrendering. Then he taps his palms with his fingertips and tells Brigitte, "Push."
It's a primitive method, but it'll give him a better idea of her strength. When she's done with that, he'll hold his arms in front of himself — one hand on top of the other, elbows bent, still at her shoulder level — and instruct her to try to push his arms up and then try to push them down.
