[ there's an argument sitting on the tip of valentino's tongue - the exorcists wouldn't have to ("have to") come down and cull hell's population every year if they simply stopped turning so many people away at their precious little gates for not having lived a picture-perfect life; if charlie were smarter, maybe she could have pitched the idea of a little leniency on the angels' side, instead of an embarrassment of a hotel where sinners have to essentially beg and grovel to be liked and accepted by a bunch of hypocritical assholes - but he says none of this. going back and forth with angel is becoming exhausting. why the fuck anyone would care about clawing their way up to heaven is beyond him.
it should be insulting to him that angel thinks he needs saving from anything, that he needs to be protected. he's a fucking overlord, and he didn't get here by being weak or vulnerable. valentino's not naive enough to believe he's invincible, but he's well aware of his status. rather than take it as a slight against him though, val finds amusement in it instead. it's... cute, almost.
valentino kisses the inside of angel's wrist next, his secondary arms looping around his waist, water sloshing around them gently. he smiles softly, offers a quiet laugh. ]
