Jayce is in a high state of anxiety but he also went right into healer mode which helps keep him clear-headed for a few important seconds. He can see that Viktor's starting to be able to breathe again and it helps him feel like he can breathe. "Don't be sorry, sweetheart, it's not your fault." The blood looks so bright at the moment and it's concerning, keeping his hand on Viktor's chest to feel his heart beat as a steady reminder.
"The winter air was terrible, I should've argued for us to stay." They technically could have petitioned to stay and he thinks Cadens would let them, but there was no way of them knowing how bad it would be out there. He considers getting a rag to clean him off but decides against it.
"Let's do a shower, love, it'll be good for your lungs and clean you off." It would be harsh to put a towel on his nose and it would let Viktor steam his showers and get rid of some of the blood too. His healing has staunched the wound again, as far as he knows, but that doesn't mean comfort is there. They've come a long way since Viktor would avoid Jayce knowing when he coughed.
