You notice Dane in a corner with Josie, one of the survivors from Bastone that you led through the Deepwood. You have seen them together a great deal here in The Broken Oak. They are looking at you too, whispering to each other and holding hands. Dane gives her a kiss and strides over to your table. "I…I wanted to talk to you. I owe you my life, but who knows how much that's still worth with the plague and all. With your permission I'd spend the time I have with Josie here, wed her, care for her. I gave you my word after Bastone to follow you anywhere. Can't bear the thought of her dying alone though, you know? Would you release me from my bond?"

Dane has been a good strong arm and proven himself to be capable of standing against the things that come from the Deepwood. You would be losing an asset to let him go, yet can you make him stay?
