Markus nodded a bit as Thomas made his decision, as though it were the only reasonable choice he had. Then he bent to the wound, taking the cloth away and setting the newly bloodied thing aside. He took the numbing leaves out of his bag and carefully wrapped them around the leg, forming a kind of protection from infection, and hopefully nebulize the pain. After the leaves had stuck, and seemed to be oozing some kind of clear goo from their rough handling, Markus motioned for Thomas to stretch out his leg so that he could lay the sticks on either side and then wrap the bandage around it, more holding the sticks to the leg and keeping it straightened than anything else. Eva watched the process with shining eyes, and when it was all said and done, she climbed into her father's lap and looked up at him with a bright smile.
Want one too! Eva too! Markus favored her with a small smile, and lifted her with one large hand to set her on his shoulder. You should climb on my back if you can. He said to Thomas, and turned to crouch with his back to the other male, wondering absently if he could make it to the raft.
