Okay, yes, it was really fucking old! But You don't have to say that out loud, Mr. Sensitivity! It's a good thing Daneel doesn't seem to get offended easily. But suddenly, a lot of things about him made a lot more sense. By making vague threats to hurt people, even jokingly, she was making Daneel uncomfortable. That was unacceptable.

"We'd never order you to do anything, Daneel. In this house, you can just do whatever you want. And if there's a problem, you can tell us. We'll fix it." She nudged Kobra gently with her elbow implying he better be on board with that. But it was obvious that he was, and of course she'd help in any way possible. It would be easy for someone to abuse those laws and hurt Daneel. Lydia would not stand by and let anyone take advantage of anyone else. She knew from experience that there were people like that out there.
