Do they exist for their friends? Not actually something Soldat has considered. Maybe to keep them safe? (Not that we're doing a great job at that, lately. We'll just hafta keep trying. Yes. Glad you guys think I can do it, anyway. You could be eating right now, not worrying about this. Except the Pit, apparently.)

Soldat shrugs, arm purring a little. "Mostly I just exist because I don't really want to stop existing yet. But my current mission is keeping people safe. So. Maybe a little bit."
