"I understand the hesitation, the state of this place is... unnerving," Everett has been spending a lot of time busybodying around the city and the Coven. It's still like the dream in many ways, but there's an unmistakable sense that it's been cleaned up for their visit. The worse parts swept under the rug, but ready at any moment to dirty the whole place up again, "still, the Coven will insist upon treating you, and soon, if they are given word. We should take the potion now? In case we are separated..."

He doesn't know what goes on beyond that door, but he knows how the Coven are about dragging any infected back there. They're going to hear about Myr, he's too obviously injured to not draw questioning. Everett hopes being bonded might allow him to go along for the treatment (though, it won't...)
