Daneel blinks, considering this idea with a brand new perspective. It
isn't easy, but it's easier to consider than concepts like being a person

"This idea is pleasant," he says. "Thank you for it. If love is a concept
with many applications and variations, and sexual desire can be excluded
from it, then I may very well be able to define it as something I'm capable
of."
In which case, he's probably not going to harm Ned, at least not that way.
