Percy's actions and words left Daneel tongue-tied for a moment, but as soon as he recovered, he stepped forward and raised the man by his shoulders.
There were a few moments in his journey in Angaria so far that he cherished so much that he would be reminded of them in times of peace or strife, and instantly, this one was added to them.
Someone who had seemed like he was just an annoying brat had proven himself to be one of the most reliable individuals that Daneel could trust, and today, he had taken that one step further.
Truth always had a way of either binding or breaking relationships, and in this case, it had clearly taken the effect of the former.
After looking into Percy's sincere eyes for a few seconds, Daneel grinned and replied, saying, "Only if you're still that kid at heart who hit himself to make it seem as if we had fought."
His reply made Percy beam, and with a nod, he said, "It's a deal."
