[ He stops when Vasquez snorts, worried that his movements woke the other man up.
He lets out a breath when Vasquez seems to readjust, but then the bastard just grabs hold of him again, and Faraday freezes.
Faraday grits out, ]
Goddamn barnacle.
[ before exhaling a defeated sigh, settling back into place.
Maybe later he'll be willing to admit to himself that he didn't try very hard at all. He's a goddamn spy, for crying out loud, trained in so many forms of close-quarters combat that he has an easier time of disarming a man than he does of remembering the street names on his way to work. He knows how to worm his way out of an opponent's stranglehold; escaping from a sleeping man is a cakewalk in comparison.
But Faraday isn't a very honest man, and he scrubs at his face, resigned.
He spends a few moments berating himself for this bit of selfish weakness before finally drifting off. ]
