Axel is my favorite character of the game and i would like him to stay as part of the story like Thane and Nauxus. He can offering advice (for life, battle or "village-politics") to Eyvind or Thane every now and then. Or just be a drinking buddy on unregular visits in the tavern [ and the bathtube one day :) ]. How about we "ship" Big-Daddy Bull into a new relationship? He is "pant up beyond belief" after all.
You got two votes:
a) Axel and Snow become regular drinking buddies. Start of a bro-mance. (teasing included)
b) Axel and Snow will become sex-buddies. (no romance)
c) Axel will fall in love with a female bovine, a relative young widow with her one or two toddlers. She lost her husband in the war.
d) You got another idea? Write it down!
If you vote a) + b): Axel and Snow will be a couple in secret.
