This scab could have happen by them playing together if the play got too rough and Sebah was injured during the play. If the area itself isn't red, swollen, warm to the touch, and there is no puss, then it isn't infected and I would allow it to heal without any further treatment. You don't want to disturb the scab, which would then disrupt the healing process. Should you see any of the signs of infection I mentioned above, I would have Sebah seen by the vet for antibiotics to treat it.
