"Yes, sir," Soldat says dryly, and follows it up with a sloppy-ass salute, just because they can.
It seems too nice a moment to ruin with more horror stories. So they finally collect the smooshed sandwich and decide not to go into the rest. That edges into having to talk about the Words, anyway. "Anyway, I'm free now, and I'm pretty sure I'm never going to have to go back. The train has said she won't send people back to places they were in danger." Which is fine. Unless they could go back to the moment of their death, to the exact place of it, to try and save Steve... they've got no desire to go back to that world.
