Kobra had an interesting way of putting things. If Daneel ever did figure out the Laws of Humanity that he and Giskard had discussed (because there simply had to be some equivalent to the Laws that governed human behaviour, and he just didn't know what they were), the safety of those close must have some sort of place on it.

"I have no need or desire to be anywhere but here, Lydia," Daneel promised. "As long as you want company, I'm more than glad to be here for you. As the pair of you keep telling me, it's part of what friends do for each other. I don't think it's out of place to insist it go both ways, if you two insist on treating me as you do."

Still, Lydia would be fine. He'd known that before and he knew that now.
