There was literally nothing that Dimitri felt he could do to make any of these situations easier on anyone. So much had happened in a short time period and he felt more useless after each tragedy. He had seen Vera's death while he was standing in his sentry tower. He'd seen the aftermath of what Caleb had done to Lissa and he had witnessed grief at its most primal when he'd run after Shannon and Colleen in the woods.
Shannon's rage and loss echoed in his mind the following night while he stayed up in his tower. He was still watchful and alert, but his mind was severely distracted. Instead of prolonging his shift into the next as he normally did, Dimitri left the tower to the next sentry on duty and for once went off duty. As off duty as Dimitri Belikov could ever be. He passed through the prison and check in on the Moroi, on Rose, and on several others that he didn't speak to but still remained watchful.
Stopping by his cell for a few moments to gather his thoughts, he realized there was someone that he hadn't been able to check in on yet. Asking a handful of people in passing he found out that Shannon was keeping to the gym and hadn't left since last night. Leaving immediately, he only stopped when he saw Neal sitting outside looking as helpless as Dimitri himself felt.
"Go try to rest, Neal. Eat. I'll stay with her for a while." He didn't order him to leave, but it was strongly said. Whether or not Neal left Dimitri didn't know, but he walked inside anyway. The room was dark and the door shutting echoed throughout. On the far side of the room sat Shannon staring off into space. He paused for only a moment and walked over and knelt down in front of her.
"Shannon. How long have you been in here?"
