Under 'our' watch, he nearly says, but he realizes it is best if he does not let out those details so freely. "This may be...uncomfortable. Trust me a moment."
He turns her head so that she can bury her face in his chest as she coughs out the last of the blood and disease, him not caring that the red splatter coats his skin. He just wishes for Neferet not to see.
