There was little point in cleaning the wound, he realized pretty soon. There was too much filth in this man's hair and that needed to be washed out first, before he could effectively disinfect.

He said. "Let me wash my hands and then we'll wait for your brother. I'll get you some lemonade, to get some sugar in your system." And more liquid. He still worried about dehydration.
