While the impersonation was impressive, it wasn't that which gave Walter pause. He wasn't expecting to find any sort of common ground with Envy any time soon. They knew each other because of their birds and kept in touch purely because of their birds also. He knew Envy was protective of Henry and had some venom towards him over Henry's role as the Receiver of Wisdom. While he understood it, it didn't mean he was as amenable for abuse from him as he was Henry.
He spoke quietly, eyes avoiding Envy's which was a little awkward given the dance. "...Wrath told me people said similar things about him. I disagreed."
He wouldn't go into his own history, how little his life or interests or anything mattered to the people and forces who controlled him. But, he wanted to say that much. And now to change the topic. "You do dance very well." ...he couldn't outright say it was nice to dance with someone who danced as gracefully as Envy, but an attempt was made.
At his side, Darkness was very much focused on Lyra - but he picked up on what Walter had just said and couldn't help drawing himself up proudly. See how mild his trainer could be! If only Lyra's followed suit, then that boded well for future meetings like this.
