"There is precedent for a clan to give countenance to an off-worlder, and others have adopted our customs; our Earl Klaes and his family even use the clan-prefixes offered them by Shona." He paused, turning to Dana and smiling. "Dana Manfredi." Dana was startled to hear herself addressed, but she responded quickly. "Yes, Chief Killian?" "Will you accept Alanna's countenance?"
