Creepy and depressing is hard for Daneel to understand, but there's a sense of loneliness, perhaps, possessed by a house that was once full of people and now longer is. He knows, too, just how it makes Ned feel, and how very unsettled he is.

"Possibly not," he agrees. He stays close to Ned, just a breath behind him. It's... not sensible to hover over Ned like this, merely because there's a lack of power, but he knows all too well the slow decay of amenities. He's witnessed it himself.

"But there is no danger that will come to you while I am here, Ned. You may be sure of that."
