With Daneel here, and the prospect of a cozy fire in the near future, Ned doesn't worry so much about the dangers and inconveniences of the power outage. He can think about that later when the food starts to spoil, when he needs a shower and there's no hot water, when the temperature drops as night sets in. For now, it's manageable, and just the littlest bit fun. He has to let it be a little bit fun, he thinks, or else he isn't sure he'll be able to stop himself from falling apart.
"Let's give it a try."
He bumps into the doorframe with his shoulder, laughs, corrects the direction of his steps and makes his way back to the living room with Daneel in tow. "Bet they don't have power outs on Aurora, do they?"
