News brought to Dana by Tanek made sense of everything. Unlike Imani, Dana had not yet picked up on the fact that it wasn't Sorin at all. She thought Sorin was keeping something from her and now? Now she understood. She'd gone through a lot of emotions. Relief that she wasn't going crazy or being paranoid, fear of what happened to Sorin, and concern as to why whoever this was, why he didn't just tell them who he was in the first place. Dana would have welcomed him as she had welcomed Sorin. He did not have to lie but he had and now he had put Sorin somewhere and she knew not where.
Now she stood with the others and she appeared visibly horrified by Andrei's aggressive entrance. She stood near Barclay, knowing and trusting the druid. "Andrei," Dana's voice came out a quiet plea and she then observed Imani She knew the whole time and said nothing. Even when Dana confided in the witch about her worries about Sorin and his changed behavior. Anger didn't hold too well with Dana. It often transformed quickly into hurt and sadness. She whispered to Barlcay, "Hurting him will not bring Sorin back."
But then she looked to where Imani sat again. She moved quickly, going to Imani and then taking her by the hand, observing that the girl had been crying. "Imani, please, do not keep things anymore."
