The Soldier has to suppress a twitch when she touches it, but it's had so much training in keeping still that it's not all that hard to do. It keeps its face flat and bland, the perfect Asset expression that gives nothing away and can't get it in trouble for any reaction, and just breathes.

The bite, weirdly, isn't nearly as bad as the hands. Pain is normal. Pain is familiar. It's being touched while in pain that's weird. Besides, it doesn't even really hurt that much.

So the Soldier stands patient and with carefully controlled breathing to let her have what she needs. Like a technician drawing blood to test or repairing the arm.

If she can taste differences in blood, the Soldier's has something extra that your typical human doesn't have. It tastes weirdly synthetic, a little alien, but powerful.
