===Courting Adolin===

Danlan met with Navani, who liked her and was impressed her with her intelligence; she encouraged Adolin to pursue her.{{book ref|sa1|52}} Adolin took her to an Outer Market wineshop before one of his duels. Danlan participated in the conversation with [[Jakamav]], [[Inkima]], [[Toral]] and [[Eshava]], and she tended to stay on the topic of politics.{{book ref|sa1|58}}
Danlan is part of [[Graves]]'s plot to kill the king and replace him with [[Dalinar]], and was present when [[Moash]] and [[Kaladin]] met with him. It can be assumed that she is a member of the [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]].{{book ref|wor|46}}▼
Although Adolin did not know Danlan well, he was attracted to her and was committed to making their courtship last longer than his typical brief relationships.{{book ref|sa1|58}} However, some months later Adolin was surprisingly the one to break off their courtship, due to some inappropriate things Danlan had told her friends, likely related to some flirting by Adolin.{{book ref|sa2|14}}{{book ref|sa2|26}} The breakup was not amicable, and involved Danlan cursing at Adolin. She remained as one of Dalinar's scribes, and whenever she ran into Adolin she glared at him.{{book ref|sa2|14}}
