Angelique's reluctance?

When Jacques orders Angelique to kill L'Merchant, she has a look of almost worry on her face for a moment. She seems like she doesn't want to kill the toy maker, but I could be just reading too far into it. Maybe she was just upset that she has to follow orders? But then again, when she finds John Merchant in 1996, she appears pleased and doesn't try to kill him right away. Actually, Pinhead is the one who wants to kill him, while Angelique seems to just want John to open a portal rather than take his life. I don't know... I guess I want to think Angelique was intrigued by John as the creator of the box instead of just wanting to slaughter him. What do you guys think?

I think the reason is she has grown accustomed to her pace of living on Earth. I think going back to the austerity of Hell does not sound that awesome to her.

Not really. She's a princess of Hell, and doesn't enjoy being ordered or told she's wrong. By listening to Pinhead, she's basically submitting to him and accepting his way of things. She seemed to be a demon of lust, and gathered souls through seduction, which was different from Pinhead's methods. Besides, she was probably peeved at having been unsuccessful with her seduction, concerned if what she was doing was the right way to go about things. She was possibly also questioning what killing the descendant of the one that created the puzzle box might result in.
