After getting rid of the abrupt fear that had appeared in him after listening to the Divine Cockroach's unique wish, Daneel decided to speak to the Ancient Dragon whom he had once again placed in his mind before coming here in the hopes that he might be able to help because it was a matter relating to Godbeasts.
Indeed, on his way to finding Cassandra, Daneel had also dropped off Drakos in his podium as a precaution while he had gone to the Kingdom of Lanthanor to pick up a few trinkets that he thought he might need. He had known that he would be walking into a trap, and one placed by those whose means might well be beyond what he could imagine. Once, already, he had felt how it was to have all of his secrets exposed, and he didn't want to go through it again in case there was someone who was capable of finding out about Drakos like the sect master of the Everlasting Blossoms sect had done.
