He's burned and he doesn't care. Not when they go out, not when the pain eases. The child had suffered so much and they just couldn't help.
Anders is silent as he looks down at his singed staff. Distantly he hears Herian and he considers not helping. If she'd nit drawn... but there's no guarantee they child have saved the child even without people leaping to attack. The staff slowly goes onto his back and he moves to follow Kirk silently. There's still some pain from the burns but it seems only fair. He'd just helped kill a child. Needed to, yes. But he'd done it, and he's not sure he has the right to stop and tend to the rest of his wounds just yet.
