This would be a great time to give Aziraphale a reassuring pat. The Soldier even considers it, tries making their hand move. But after the practice with shut-down, the three memories, and the brief confessional, they can't make themselves do it. "Yeah. How. Long does he usually do this for." Aziraphale would know. And asking after Crowley might make that look go away. They're really not used to causing looks like that on people's faces; nobody should feel guilty because of them, damn.
