Good. That's good. The Soldier nods once, reaches over to give Elle's shoulder an absent little pat. Touch is a little easier when half-asleep on their feet, maybe; and when they initiate it themselves. Either way, it's only their truth when they say, "No one should be alone."

It's the whole reason they even started staying with Crowley and Aziraphale. Part of why the siege didn't bother them as much as the others. The Soldier's figured out by now that they're better with other people around, and they can only extrapolate that everyone else is the same way.
