Anduin is, needless to say, not pleased with Karsa's revelation. Or perhaps it was the revelation of the dragon's eye. Regardless, he supposes he should say that he is not entirely surprised at that either. At the fact that over half of the populace has already passed from the coal sickness, at the fact that some of them have been replaced by these mannequins that some of the other otherworlders have encountered.
It fills him with a heaviness that is difficult to shake off though, at first. There is a chance after all that these people are beyond their help. That the whole city is beyond their help. And when a vote is put up amongst their group, Anduin is torn on how exactly is best to proceed on it. The healer in him wins out in the end, of course. If there is a chance that they can save these people, or at least stop this terrible blight from spreading further than Serthica's borders... Then at least they must try.
It is the chance that they may just succeed in eliminating the disease -- and therefore the majority of the population -- that has Anduin initially convinced he should go to the leaders of the citadel and warn them of said possibility. But a careful conversation with Wrathion convinces him out of that plan. There is a history, in Azeroth, of cleansing the population of sickness with the mass slaughter of any who showed the slightest sign of illness. Anduin cannot take the risk that Arabella might choose to follow suit. Not when there may still be hope for these people yet.
