Midgardian science has its uses. This may be one of them. [ he says may because it's too early too tell. ] Whatever disease was manufactured to spread can be contained with a remedy, or vaccine, I suppose.
We have enough of those who dabble in the practice to find one of those, but it'll take time.
A vaccine? That is the name for a scientific remedy?

Mortal illnesses. [ Would that she were surprised. ] You are both immune.

[ And some bruises, though she hasn't troubled to count those. ]
We were pursued. Hounded from the main street, and mistaken for enemies. The rioters cannot hope to climb up, though.

Go. Find how the virus first appeared among the people. If I should have need of you, I will be certain to make your ears burn.

If they cannot be healed through our many powers, then how are we meant to contain the threat?

Then I am glad to hear such hope. Thank you.
[ Another pause, and then a question arises. ]
Is it only through touch that sickness may be passed from one person to the next?
