Shepard is the kind of person who prefers a somewhat regimented kind of life - so it's no surprise that she quickly falls into a bit of a routine in Baedal. As long as she's not worrying about the basics - food, shelter and clothing - it's a matter of finding her way around and thinking about higher-order things - like keeping in shape.

"No, I don't think they are," Shepard conceded, watching him as he watched the fight. They may have been dropped here from the same universe, but they were still coming from very different cultures.

Which made it even more ironic that she was still more comfortable talking to Garrus than any of the actual humans she'd met so far in Baedal.

"There is professional boxing, and martial arts, but they don't involve weapons and they're a lot more structured than this." Not that she would know much about those structures - her military training was much more practical than that.

"Plus, I'm not sure how my biotics would work against someone else."

"I wondered about the rule sets. If they try to evenly match the fights. What's comparable to that here? Magic?" Once again, he couldn't help but say the word with some amount of disdain. He'd get over it eventually, but it was still too new and troublesome. He hadn't actually seen it yet in any official capacity, but its presence did make it difficult to work with the CiD as he had been lately. The code would alter it, but not exactly as intended. It was quite annoying. That was enough to keep him snarky about it whenever it came up.

"Maybe they just don't allow you to use particular abilities, considering how even the people in the cohort vary. And that doesn't account for the rest of the city."

Shepard shrugged a little. "I've been told they try to match people up with similar skill sets, but I can't imagine the kind of headache that must be, what with so many people from different universes - or different incarnations of the same universe."

She shoved her hands in her pockets, part of her itching to try her biotics here - somewhere. Another part not sure she should, just yet. She wasn't really worried about her implants - she had enough cybernetics in her body to know that even with the primitive technology here, everything was still operational.

Still, that didn't rule out the possibility of her biotics being more difficult to manage, more tiring, or having other side effects. She would need a more controlled environment than what the Arena afforded, anyway.
