[Uncomfortable pauses aren't the worst thing that could happen here. Soldat holds still, as much as they'd like to waver on their feet, or go sit. They wait, half-expecting a reprimand. It's both a relief and a kind of disappointment when it doesn't come. (Looking for punishment after all?)

They don't answer the Sergeant, focusing instead of Javert.]

Thank you, sir. It will. It will be good to know what I missed. I will be more careful next time.

[They should offer him tea or coffee or something, but they're so tired. It would just be a long string of more awkward pauses if they did. They do say, though:]

Though I might. Take a bit of a break from fighting spirits for a while. Maybe. Since these are taken care of, and all.
