vaggie: hey, if angel and husk's loud-ass smanging is bothering you, we could always ask angel to move his room to a different hallway. (not like we could ever fix the mess you made of your ugly-ass room, so...)
alastor: honestly? it doesn't phase me all that much. as delightfully cruel as i am, it's nice to know husk is finding some respite within the miserable afterlife i've ensured for him.
vaggie: ...that actually makes you sound even worse somehow.
Y'all wanna talk about chains? You wanna talk about how much firmer and detailed Alastor’s are compared to Valentino? You wanna talk about how Husk isn't even able to get an inch away from Alastor, while Angel is easily able to tug away at any point? Wanna even discuss how Angel's chains seem to be becoming less former the bolder he becomes?
Wanna talk about how Husk was proud of Angel doing something that he'll possibly never will be able to do?
The contrast between these two dances!! They both lead Angel in a dance but it's night and day:
Angel's Dance with Valentino
Angel doesn't have a choice in dancing with Val. It's purely for work
You see these moments of discomfort and worry but Angel quickly puts on a mask. It's choreographed and things are prettied up (just the environment and angel's outfit) it's very artificial all the way around for this spectacle/performance
Valentino isn’t just leading, but quite literally is dragging him on a chain
Val’s also not really dancing with Angel, it's closer to Angel doing a performance for Val's entertainment. There's no real connection between them beyond the chains
Angel's Dance with Husk
It's starts more as a small offer to dance, very old time-y gentleman at some formal dance kinda thing
It's this goofy, little spur of the moment kinda of thing just for them. The dancing is a little awkward and imperfect but they're having fun and just a nice moment together.
Husk gently guides Angel through the steps
Husk and him are on even footing, they're both hand in hand and are trying to go through the motions/steps together. This is the beginning of them forming a genuine connection
