[When compared to most Pandorans, Jack is not a physically strong man. That isn't to say he can't hold his own, but he's no Wilhelm or Brick or -- well, he's not a bandit and he never was. The muscles he's developed have been out of pure necessity, and they're enough most days.
But at the end of the day, if he and Nisha were to arm wrestle fair and square, she would win. He depends on her cooperating to be where they are now, and though he might not say it out loud, he takes every inch she gives him.
In this sense, he is lucky -- lucky to have Nisha, attractive and bloodthirsty, and all his. In spite of being the hero of the story, he hasn't had a lot of good things happen to him. His story isn't the typical easy hero's victory. Not yet. Then again, he doubts it will ever be easy.
But he's starting to struggle, even with Nisha's help, so he pulls them to the edge and down to the floor. He's sweating and it makes his mask stand out against angry red skin that just doesn't quite match. The new angle doesn't help his stamina -- it weakens his knees, but spurns him faster now that he has the correct leverage.]
