Daneel rises, taking Ned's hand -- though he has no need for the support. It's an entirely extraneous gesture, one only made out of affection. He takes Ned's hand because he wants to, no other reason.

Words seems peculiarly awkward, unnecessary, and he's silent as he walks the two of them down the hallway to the bedroom. Whatever else might be going on, they have each other -- perhaps a very unlikely couple indeed, but no less valid for that.

He waits for Ned to tell him what he has been thinking about, too patient to press the issue, but there's a curiosity in him, an expectation, and once they are shut away into Ned's room again, he bends to kiss him.
