Sinjir struggles, a little. If he really wanted to get away from Ba'al, he would struggle much more efficiently and with very targeted strikes; most of what he does right now is arch his spine against Ba'al's grip, so that his hips grind back against Ba'al and Ba'al's grip digs into his throat.

"Now." Because then Ba'al could fist him, could break out a fucking machine, could just make Sinjir beg to fill the emptiness, and all of those sound good.
