He nodded at the explanation; wondering how long it had been since the infection had taken hold of the Flood. Well before their conversations within Torchline? When Dahlia had supposedly visited? Those last machinations clicked within his mind, and then the logic of King’s End having no protection – why would it be, when the Family had already encroached upon its leader? “So he has been keeping it a secret.” He fought the urge to roll his eyes, and opted for shaking his head – because had he told, they would’ve done something to ensure he was no longer Dahlia’s puppet. Tried, at the very least.
He’d known about Everest from Flora, and perhaps hoped that he’d make it here on his own too. “I had heard. He has not come to the springs either. No one has.” Which left the Sword pondering about the parameters of things – if part of the issue was the illness itself, leading them far away from remedies, balms, and antidotes; especially when it was so easy and simplistic. “I wonder if it is like past sicknesses – the second blight made us not want to go anywhere near the cure.” Mulling over the notions while pausing to scrawl something out for Remi and Ronin, he tilted his head, questions forming throughout the musings. “Did he say how it helped him?” What was the benefit? Because from his standpoints on being infected with anything, it was never good. Perhaps this was a brainwashing, conditioning, and influential mechanism. Or a sign, a symptom, of what to watch out for in the future.
As for the rightness of it all, Deimos could only agree. “Safrin would not have sent us so many warnings if it was a beneficial thing.”
