She turned away and politely covered her mouth and nose with some cloth before taking off a bit of her clothing and kneeling down in front of Fera, wrapping it around the poor girl's nose and mouth, tying it behind her head.

It was ambiguous and open to interpretation, which made sense to use given the diplomat's experience and the proclivity of criminals to assume the worst if any authorities took an interest.
