[ It's unlikely that Angela will get to experience this sort of closeness with him for some time after this rare example. Snake doesn't usually get so touchy with someone unless he knows them really well, but with both of them stuck on this crew together, that's something that could eventually happen over time. It's not like either of them have any reason to avoid each other. Much to the contrary, actually.
Unlike Snake's current situation with Venom. While Ahab has already made it clear that he doesn't hold any sort of grudge about what happens to him, Snake doesn't want to make any bold assumptions either. Better that he leave it to Venom to approach him from now on, or at least for their next interaction. Snake doesn't want to rub anything in his face.
Those worries float away for the moment, quickly replaced by the prospect of dancing. Snake really doesn't have much experience with this, but he figures that Angela also won't make any intense demands on him. She isn't going to ask him to dance the waltz with her, he hopes.
He does give a slight pull to help her to her feet, but she's obviously got this all under control. There's an area of the room that's been dedicated to dancing, so he heads in that direction. The music isn't anything that Snake recognizes, obviously, but it also isn't so different from what he knows that there isn't a rhythm to pick out. He's been known to listen to music while on missions, finding that it helps keep him both calm and focused. Now, all he has to worry about is not stepping on anyone's feet.
Traditionally speaking, it's the man who's supposed to take the lead in this sort of situation, but Snake isn't going to pretend he knows what he's doing. He looks Angela over again, clears his throat, and shrugs uselessly. ] You're gonna have to take point here.
