Mikael nods wordlessly to Abaigeal's questions, not offering her any kind of explanation. He seems satisfied when she puts the inquiry on hold. The large man does not respond immediately when he is asked to come, choosing instead to simply watch as the woman gets down onto the ground next to Andrew, encouraging him by doing pushups alongside the little man.
The Gladiator takes a few steps over to the pair after she manages to get the run to do two full pushups. Mikael stands up tall, rising to his toes, and then leans forward. He falls forward to the ground, nearly falling onto his face. His hands reach out at the last possible moment to catch him and the Highlander's icy gaze moves to Andrew with a sly grin. "Are you going to let a girl beat you, Andrew? Maybe you should change your name to Anita."
Mikael pushes himself up from the mat and holds his body steady. He pulls his left arm away from the ground, placing it behind his back, lowering his gaze to the floor. Carefully, steadily, he lowers himself on one arm and then exhales slowly as he pushes himself back up. He pumps out enough one-handed pushups to catch up with Andrew and Abaigeal. "Time to be a man. Get to it, Andrew. I am going to feed you to Abaigeal if she manages to beat you."
