[ he's only got a few chances here. david's strong enough to force him off if he's not fast, and given the circumstances, he doesn't actually want to hurt him bad enough to end this quickly.
evan tries to work david's arms so he can get them crossed against his back, and then get both wrists in one hand of his own. it'll be just about enough to free up his other hand to get the rope started, wound tight around david's forearms. keeping him restrained without cutting off circulation or cutting into his skin. but it's difficult, because david's trying everything he can to get free.
if he can just get it wound tight enough once or twice, he can free up both hands to tie him up properly. it'll cost him - he's sure he's about to get hit in the face with something, skull or elbow or otherwise - but it'll work. ]
