Markus nodded at the explanation, figuring Fran would forget to introduce himself when faced with an injury. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Thomas wince, and his eyes dropped immediately to the bad leg. The bandages were unraveling, probably from too much activity. It was always better to leave the wound alone when it was bandaged, especially a leg; walking would only make it worse. He stopped and turned, giving Thomas a hard look and cursing himself for forgetting that vital rule. Of course, Thomas was a stranger, so it didn't matter much, but that didn't mean Markus would stand around and let the male bleed out.
It wasn't that hard to bend a bit and stick his shoulder in the other male's stomach--a bit of a belly, he noticed, and hoped Thomas wouldn't be too uncomfortable before remembering he didn't care--before rising and rolling it back, slinging the smaller dog over his shoulder and holding him in place with one arm before he attempted to start walking again.
Attempted being the key word.
that's still beating
