The guard watches Jamie with a condescending shade of frustration. He flicks his wrist, sending the water over Cosima, all while holding eye contact with the prisoner before him.

He's opening his mouth to speak when a chain loops around his throat. There's no change for even a strangled sound, with the force of Lexa's weight behind it. His gloved hands scrabble at the chain, the pressure crushing his windpipe.

He starts to struggle immediately, pitching his weight forward to try and shake Lexa off, but the slam of her heel into his knee makes his leg buckle, so the effort turns into an awkward stumble and stagger, nearly sending him right to the floor.
