[There's a version of this conversation where Angel talks more about how used to being hurt he is, how scared and helpless and dirty he feels, even now, even without Val's chain on him. How he still feels some kinda fucked up connection, how he can't really ever be free, not while Val's still around, and how petrified he is to watch something similar happen to Velvet.
But there's also a version where Angel laughs, at the swearing, at the sinuous, slinky-like way Veneer can wiggle and move, at the tickle of those big fluffy tails under his many hands. Angel chooses that version, this time, tosses his head back and laughs through the hoarseness and the bruising.]
I gotta get that on film next time, fuckin' a-plus cussin', Baby V~ [And a-plus cuddling, while they're at it.]
