[ between the pain in his back and the hand pulling his hair, david's powerless in the moment to do anything but go with it with a sharp hiss. he lets go of the screwdriver, hands flying up to grab trapper's arm-- doesn't think he can get him to let go in this position, but maybe he can pull it toward himself, relieve that tension a little. ]
[ he can't afford to let trapper get a foothold on a real advantage here, david knows that. it's the struggle he keeps coming up against most, the second trapper gets that control he becomes an oppressive wall that's almost impossible to fight against. ]
[ david growls, holding tight onto that arm because however this goes it's probably going to hurt both of them a lot and he wants to minimise what he can for himself when he kicks out at that same thigh he just stabbed. ]
