I'm sorry to hear that. This cold brings illness like any other, it seems. Hopefully, you will recover soon.
[And of course a totally ordinary stuffy-nosed, achy illness is plausible enough to Enoch he doesn't suspect.]
If you haven't explored the path to the south, I suppose we'll look there. Hopefully, we will not draw the notice of the monsters, though I'd rather they come after us than you, in your condition.
[He can protect the kids, he thinks. Both of them are well, and small enough to carry if he needs to. A grown man, even if he is lighter and smaller than he is? Not so much.]
