Mildred, who was a mathematician and astronomer in her previous life, had nothing near the residual knowledge of biology and anatomy to know that Robert's assurances about his health were incorrect. Even if she had studied medical science at this time, it would have been woefully incorrect in its own way, because germs just weren't a thing to this time period. She just quietly nodded along.

“On second thought,” Dillon laughed bitterly as he leaned weakly into the boulder beside him.
“I might have to reconsider this trip given my status.” He was white as a sheet by now, and his vision was starting to blur out.
“YOU,” he pointed at Robert, shooting him a meaningful look.
He would have to leave Mildred in his hands for now, but oh if she came back bee-stung once more....failed goodbye QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 85 YOUR HP: 30

"AYE." Robert retorted. "ME."
He was clearly the better man, but he didn't need Dillon to tell him to take care of her. He could do that all on his - and down the mountain he went.

An advancement was made in medical science that day - Robert had proven that exercise relevant to the ailing portion of the body was indeed an effective remedy. This was clearly the only explanation that she and Dillon had both fallen immediately ill again, while he appeared as healthy as ever. One very healthy sun-knight blur, she thought, from the place on the ground where she'd curled up to await her inevitable demise via stomachache. (As she lay there, she was mumbling 'Sir Robert' repeatedly in her feverish delirium, but was not entirely aware of this fact.)

Decisions, decisions.
Robert stood in front of the curled up body of the jewel of the knighthood, sweaty and moaning with disease. He realized, with deep dismay, that he still found her absolutely perfect - and that made no sense. There was something other than physical attraction coloring his senses, now.
He looked up at the path ahead. No one would be in his way.
He could bring back the artifact on his own, and be the hero. He could win her over with his success, and make Dillon look the fool. He could bring honor and glory to his name, without question.
With a slump and a sigh, he bent his knees and carefully, gently, wrapped her up in his arms. The sit-ups helped, now - as he lifted her light body with ease, and carried her back to the castle in silence.
She was going to be bad for business.

Dillon wasn't sure anymore how many times this expedition had started and stopped, or if they had moved from the same spot at all in the past few days.
The stomach sickness had affected him pretty badly, and despite the evidence, he refused to believe that doing any situps would cure him of this particular ailment.

In spite of her sickness, Mildred was fairly certain that Robert had dropped his pursuit of the artifact to ensure that she made it back to the castle safely - by carrying her, even. This created a troublesome predicament within her, which she couldn't place the source of. She didn't address it, but gave him the longest of all her little smiles yet. It was noticeably more awkward a smile than the ones before it, which might not have mattered. Dillon received a nod of camaraderie, that silently said 'I am confident we are dying together but refuse to audibly state this for fear of our lives.' Or the nod tried to express that, at least.

Things were going pretty well! JUST KIDDING NO THEY WEREN'T. Robert gained a new fellowship with bees, in that they loved him. They loved his food, too.

"They will be kinder to you if you do not threaten their Queen," Mildred murmured, squinting as she carefully reached to remove one of the bees from Robert's face. It crawled sluggishly up her finger before launching itself back into the air again. This would have been an impressive display of harmony with nature, had she not been viciously attacked by a rabbit immediately afterward.

Had Dillon left his food out when he'd returned due to his lack of abs? Thanks, Dillon! "I wasn't threatening the queen. I would never! She is royalty!" Still, his eyelids fluttered when she reached up to take the bee off of his face. He waited, quietly hoping for another one. No such luck.

Even as she said it, his arms were already out to catch her. What good was he, if not for catching damsels in distress? It was what he was born for. He was catching damsel babies as they fell out of their cribs.
She was carried gently back, precious cargo that needed to be nursed back to health before they were given another chance at their perilous quest.

A radical change in diet.
An almost paranoid concern for hygiene.
Dillon was still a little shaky from the several bouts of illness, but he would set off again.
