"He's not old. He's mature and experienced." She said a little haughtily. Can you be positive and haughty at the same time? Probably. This is Lydia.
Kobra made a good call on the lack of hair ruffle. If he had messed up her already less-than-stellar bed-head, he would have paid dearly. The option he did choose made her raise an eyebrow and tilt her head as she tried, and failed, to fight a smile before turning her attention back to Daneel and the kettle.
"So you retained your personality and memories even after losing so much of yourself? That's amazing. A little sad, but still amazing." But he couldn't just have been losing parts of himself. Living so many lifetimes... he must have lost friends, too. Maybe a lot. "Are you lonely? Can you feel lonely? And why do you care so much about harm coming to humans? Is it your programming?"
This was helping. Asking questions. Letting her mind focus on Daneel and having Kobra so close. She was much calmer now. Calm, but slightly concerned for the robot.
