But how...? How do you know you are you when someone else created you? Aren't you shaped after someone else's idea then? [He believes he gets it. Maybe a little. If robots were man-made robots could not be a person. They would always be someone else's person.

Isn't that it?]

Can you have memories then? Is it that...? [What a difficult subject on an evening like this.] When someone faces hardship the memories can go and change that person's thoughts. When a man falls in love, he would do everything for that...for that love. Is it not?

[Daneel blinks, trying to think this out.]

I know I am myself because my experiences, my memories, are unlike any other individual's, human or robot. They shape my actions, as your memories shape yours. If I did not have memories, I could not learn, nor grow, nor understand new things. I would not be... useful, if that were true.

Forgive me the comparison, but you were also created by someone else, though in a different way than I was. You were created by your parents. You are still you.

[Maybe he does not understand this at all and the entire train of thoughts that is going through his head makes it hurt a little. It could very well be that this was a bit too much for him.

To him Daneel seems like a different...being. Made of iron and iron brains. It is not the same as being made by two people who love one another. But why...he cannot think of it.]

You were never a babe. [It is the only thing he can think of.] You remain the same for many years... I... [It could very well be that he is just too much of a fool for matters like this. To properly understand he should have come from another time.]

Gods... [Robb laughs the most awkward laugh possible.] ...let us drop this matter. I am afraid I cannot say much for myself.

[thezerothlaw]

As you wish. Don't trouble yourself too much on my account.

[He would hate to think Robb was bothered by him.]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

Worry not, I am not troubled. [Not in that way.] I think it will take a while before I properly understand the workings of beings like you.

[He shifts a little.]

I think it is time for me to get some sleep. [And seek some relief for this headache.]

[thezerothlaw]

[He nods.]

Sleep then. I won't disturb you. I should probably return to the Wonderduck, in any event. It was a pleasure to meet you, sir.

[kingofbadlifechoices]

My thanks. [He nods politely.] Likewise. I would like it if we could meet again, ser. [But maybe after he has wrapped his head around all of this.]
