Summary
“C’mon. I know you don’t think much of it yet, but I promise my company’s better than watchin' a bunch of high-hats try and fail to dance a foxtrot.”
Alastor arched a sharp and perfect brow, unconvinced. “‘Yet’?”
The smile grew bolder. “I’m used to havin’ to prove myself.”

Summary
If Angel gets Husk sticking his neck out much further, it’s going straight in the noose.
"Straight in the noose, baby," he says, but Angel’s not listening. Never is.

Summary
Angel and Husk are separated.
Husk drowns himself in alcohol, becomes distant and bitter. What's even the point in staying sober, anyway? It's not like there's anyone left he'd like to pour a drink or two for. Sure, there are new guests, lots of them, actually, but Husk was way happier with only one.
Alastor notices that he's sad. Husk might have a good poker face, but in the end it's Alastor who won his soul in a card game. Alastor is also the one who doesn't like his bartender to sit around and wail all day.
Meanwhile, Angel desperately tries to keep himself together. He knows he can't think about Husk, not now, maybe not ever. If he did, he'd just fall apart on the spot. But the memories of gold and honey, good memories, so gentle, so sweet, don't seem to get the memo. They force themselves back into Angel's mind, and Angel is so tired of fighting them.
Valentino's been a bit down lately, and there's nothing better than a good whore to cheer him up.

OR: This is just angst, literally nobody is having a good time, Angel and Husk have a worse time than usual.

Summary
“So, what about you then, whiskers? Just stuck at the bar all day waiting for lil’ ol’ me?”
Setting the bottle down on the bar a little harsher than necessary, he shrugged his shoulders. “Nothing special to report,” he grumbled.
‘Don’t think about it, it’s done with now, you’re okay.’
. . .
Husk hates being a cat. Alastor does not help with this. Angel, however, may be able to at least make it bearable.
