It's not nice for Marvelous to have to hear Don cry out in pain as he puts the ice on Don's ankle, no matter how good his intentions, or how quickly Don silences himself afterwards. He keeps reminding himself that they're doing the right thing if they don't want Don's injury to get any worse than it is already.
It seems to take forever; it surprises him a little when Don asks if it's over already! He recovers himself quickly, voice steady as he replies, "all done. That wasn't so bad, was it?"
He puts his arms around Don properly, but loosely so that Don can relax back and still be in his arms. He knows well enough by now to leave it a few minutes before he makes his next suggestion, allowing Don to calm down a little and just sit there with him.
"I think we've done what we can," he says softly, "so maybe I should call my friend now and get him to come and take a look at your ankle?"
Marvelous can definitely convince Sid to make a house-call; he's a very persuasive individual. And every time they've run into one another at the coffee shop Sid has ended up chatting away about his job and how much he loves it. Marvelous might spend an indecent amount of time during the (mostly one-sided) conversation just watching the way Sid's strong, firm looking hands wrap around his coffee cup, but he listens well enough to pick up on the general idea of what's being said! He'll come over when he realises how important it is to Marvelous and, more importantly, to Don.
