"Familiar's better for nightmares." This is said with the certainty of someone who's experimented. Crane, it is.

Soldat takes their time with it. They could, at this point, make a crane in their sleep, in five seconds if there was ever a reason to do speed-origami. But that's not the point of folding paper. The point is to make each line exact and careful, to focus on the angles and the steps, and to get absorbed in it to give the brain a chance to settle itself down in the background. So they take their time. The crane, and then the owl, and then the fox.

And fifteen minutes later they can sit back against the couch arm and speak again. "Thank you, Misty."
