A slight pause. Sinjir clearly struggles with his answer. His lips press together, and he looks up to Ba'al.

"Actually," he says, clearly pushing himself to answer honestly, "could you use my name?" It turns out what he wants isn't de-personalization, but re-personalization. He wants to be treated like an individual again, with his choices respected.

A beat. "Though," he says, "I would say, I'm mindful of the respect that translation shows me." It's not that he's rejecting that respect, he wants Ba'al to know.
