It was a white rose, not a red. The doctor seemed unaware of this. He looked at the rose, then me, and his eyes seemed to accuse me of deliberately violating my Fifth Priority. I was not. I was visiting an ill person.
Organic tradition encourages giving flowers to ill people.
At Priority Two, Asimov's First Law requires me to do as I can to improve the health of organic beings. The flower was white, not red. Males give females flowers as indication of sexual interest, not the other way around. The Priority Two Law regarding health overrides the Priority Five Law on sexual activity. None the less, I monitored my facial color diodes shifting to red, and my emotion chip would not allow me to meet the doctor's eyes.
