It's not even the violence that jolts Soldat out of their sleepy state, it's the "she took my memories". They're cold, suddenly, and horrified, and even angry-- she took his memories-- but they're awake. Then Otoha hits the wall, and they immediately shove that down, let the Asset chew on it like it chewed on their own memories. They hurriedly set the plate down and nudge their lantern further back on the countertop they'd rested it on, just in case.
Then they approach, slow, both hands visible and flat, unthreatening. Gentle is not a thing their voice does well, but they come close: "Hey. Hey, Otoha. Can you look at me." They think they know what this is, but will their usual method of calming down work? Might be worth a try, if he'll respond.
