Yes, except this wasn’t an adult that was “a little” sick. It was a child that was very sick which more than likely would have led to his death without medicine.
Also, “die without the hounds”? The hounds are people who volunteer to go outside the town for supplies. They’re not special beings to put on some pedestal. That’s some low level kind of thinking ya got there. Mob mentality at its finest.
i'd also raise up my hand. i"d rather be sick for a little bit than straight up die without the hounds
