The annoyance at the small indignity, while unimportant in the scheme of things, is still at least a sign that it can have feelings about the whole mess. Even petty ones. (Maybe having petty ones is as important as having big ones.)

Still, the reminder makes it drop its hand and roll its shoulders inwards a little, looking back down at the ground. Other scars-- the ones inside, since outside the only scars it has are the ones around the join to the metal arm. How many of those does it even have, that no one can see except in its actions? Crowley said he knew how to undo programming, but he also said he'd never seen the kinds of things the Soldier had done to it. Even good memories aren't going to change the conditioned behaviors, nice though they are. Having actual friends can't stop it from not wanting to be a person.

So it wraps its arms around its knees and drops its forehead to them wearily. "I don't know if that's ever going to happen."
