The creature, visibly strained, began to show signs of recovery. A blue liquid, reminiscent of its aquatic nature, seeped from the wound on its hand as it gasped for breath. Before their eyes, the injury slowly started to mend itself, hinting at a resilience that added another layer of complexity to the encounter.
Jade, observing the creature's self-healing process, turned to Oscar and Rosa. "It looks like he's recovering from that wound. This should give us some time to prepare for the next engagement," she noted, her voice carrying a mix of concern and strategic thinking. Oscar, acknowledging her observation, silently wiped the creature's blue blood from his blade, his nod conveying his agreement and readiness to follow her lead.
