[ On his way to being a wonderful dancer, she says. Snake has to wonder if that's true, or if Angela's trying to spare his feelings. Still, he can't deny that they'd made their way through that whole song without any missteps or disasters, and that twirl had gone particularly well. He'll admit to that much. Besides, if Angela's really as delighted by all of this as she seems, then Snake's pretty sure he can call the night a victory.

There's that hesitation in the way that she pulls her hand away, and Snake stands there for a few seconds with the traces of her warmth still on his fingertips. There it is again, that bold urge to follow after her, or insist that she come follow him outside. But she probably doesn't like being around the cigarette smoke, and he's already pushed this way further than expected.

Much as she might try to gently chastise him for his bad nicotine habit, though, that's a battle she won't win as easily. Getting Snake to dance? Apparently not so hard. Getting him to give up his smokes? It may as well be an impossibility.

It doesn't seem to be a deal-breaker, though. Snake holds onto that thought for a few seconds before he realizes the implications inherent in it and shoves it away. ]


No promises.

[ He smiles with one side of his mouth and then watches as she walks away, waiting until she's disappeared into the crowd before he heads out to light up a cigarette. In retrospect the evening will be somewhat spoiled by the knowledge of what effects they'd been under, but for now, Snake can't help but think that it had been a nice night. ]
