Midge is excited and runs over to the young boy you found in Bastone. The orphan has not found his voice yet, but you have seen him coming into his own under the care of Greycane, Midge and Bram. Midge kneels down before the boy and tells him of the news that he will travel with the army. Then, to Midge's surprise the boy starts to cry. Midge is confused and tries to console him. He tells him of the importance of the mission and his part in it. The boy tries to signal something in Knock, but is too upset to gesture. Midge continues to talk about the mission, when suddenly the boy blurts out, "Stay." His first word in a long time. Everyone in the tent is enthralled by the scene. Midge throws his arms around the boy and after finding his own voice again says, "Don't worry little man, I promise you, I will come back."

When he rejoins you, you tell him he best not make promises he may not be able to keep.
