Little bit to be read into this.

Elka scores the bricks-to-the-head shot which would have disabled if not killed a living person.

She also throws the bricks in a manner that we've seen Duane do before (this is one of his favourite moves as he advocates for expertly done basic techniques) which immediately endears her to him and is probably why he goes for the disabling choke over something more brutal.

This page was so, so fun to draw because it's really just two expert battlewrights shaking hands and saying hi~
