The monster was too busy dealing with its flames to see that something was up. Bula and Azni quickly brought a metal flask containing the half-transparent ointment toward Khan and helped him smearing it on the fabric covering his legs.
Azni's back was in a poor state. Khan could catch glimpses of her scarred back, but she didn't use the ointment for herself. All the lotion in the flask eventually ended up on Khan's legs, leaving her no chance to tend her injuries.
Khan and Azni exchanged a meaningful glance before the girl nodded. They two didn't have to say anything to understand what their gazes meant.
"Those flames are scary," The male Niqols exclaimed when Bula and Azni left Khan and rejoined the encirclement.
"I've seen scarier," Khan whispered before bending forward.
