We have made little progress today. Lanua's illness grew too much last night and we have been unable to move at any pace but the slowest. It hasn't helped that the sun shined much warmer today than it has done since before winter. For nearly the whole day we have waited in a shady patch behind a rocky wall while Lanua rests and tries to recover. I hope she can fight the fever. She has drank enough water to last a week since this morning in an effort to cool down, but it has been of no use. I will need to replenish our supplies tomorrow whether she is better or not, but I don't like the idea of leaving her alone. Enan will have to be enough company for her for an hour in the morning.
Has it really been ten days since we crossed Icecarry River? It would take twice as long to get back to it now if I had to carry Lanua. There's a chance that Flowing Lake is still south-west of here, but we started off so far north; I doubt we would be able to get to those waters in under five days. By then it could be too late, especially if I had to move her. I will have to heal her using only that which I can find nearby.
