Dan is someone who can, at least, appreciate the idea that there's work to be done, and he's at least more mobile than Marcus. "I hope you do. I suppose finding actual employment might be in order soon. I'm not used to not keeping myself business."

He gets out of the bed as well, and spends some time stretching, pleased to feel the effects of good rest on some of the aches from yesterday. Or is it yesterday? He doesn't know for certain.

Dan's not quick enough, however, to hide the bright smile at being invited to stay until the winter is done. Beyond the obvious peace he's found here, he likes Kat and Trass, and no small part of him is curious what Marcus's ward is up to out there. "Yeah, thanks. I'd like to stay."
