[For a split second, Viktor looks surprised, like he wasn't even sure he could do something like that, but it's all short-lived. All he can really think is that whatever these things are could be venemous, that they could be in even deeper trouble if they don't get out of this situation as quickly as possible. Viktor's about to yell at her, again, to just get them out of here, instead of trying to stay and fight, but she beats him to it.
He doesn't need to be told to get back--he's already halfway there, off-balance from trying to fight, with nothing to hold on to or lean against. Viktor raises his arm, trying to shield his face, but the burst of flame that follows is so sudden that he can't avoid all of it. He takes a step too far back and suddenly it's like someone has hooked something into his chest--Viktor tries to resist and overbalances and the other direction, away from the edge of the crater.
