Zavian looked at the girl standing in front of him; she was biting her lower lip, and it looked like she was in a lot of pain; but even then, she pretended that she was fine. Earlier, he had not expected the witch to hurt her, and before he could stop her, her claw had dug into her skin.
He had said he was willing to do anything, so naturally, he should be ready to see her being cut apart, but watching it happen was totally different from just saying it. She looked like Lilah, so it felt like it was her who was getting hurt. He was relieved when the torture stopped and he wanted to check on her immediately, but he stopped himself. The last thing he wanted to do was show weakness in front of these witches. He did not trust them.
