[ of course angel's had worse, likely at the hands of valentino, but - there's a difference there. valentino can rationalize every mark and every bruise he leaves on angel, but when someone else puts their hands on him in ways they didn't exclusively pay for, in ways valentino doesn't approve of? it's unacceptable. it's infuriating. getting a little rough in the throes of pleasure is understandable to a fault, and maybe valentino could have waved the whole thing off, but this went far beyond a little manhandling.

angel's marked now in a way that won't fade by morning. the head wound is one thing, but the lettering carved into the inside of his thigh is permanent, and though his fur will likely cover the scarring with time, valentino is always going to know what's there. they both will.

when angel gestures for his other hand, valentino holds it out for him, uncurling his fingers and exposing his palm. he looks down at the little shards of glass embedded in his flesh, blood nothing but a sheen against his dark hands. he seems unfazed. ]

... No more new clients. [ sure, angel should be more careful. he should always be careful, as one of valentino's greatest assets, but some fault lies in val's hands tonight as well, even if he's too prideful to admit as much out loud. the admission is still there, though, hidden in this vague declaration.

angel will still have clients - regulars who have proven to pay well and not cause any fucking problems - but as of right now, the list is closed to interested parties until valentino decides otherwise. ]
