Will isn't surprised to hear that Reid's theory on the lowered blood pressure has to do with the biology of the species of vampire that did the killing. Will had a thought himself that there might be some sort of venom in the vampire fangs, or perhaps a chemical in the saliva that slowed the blood flow either for ease of ingestion by the vampire or to keep the victim alive for further feelings. Next time they got a fresh body, Will planned to get as much of a sample of the neck wounds as possible for testing.
"As much as I don't want to meet one of these killers," Will comments, "it would be fascinating to examine one. Have you ever seen one killed?" he asks. "Do the bodies remain intact?"
Will had been doing a lot of research on vampire mythology, had a list of characteristics committed to memory. His catalog was missing a lot of connections, unfortunately, between the various myths and what existed in their (albeit skewed) reality. Having concepts wasn't a bad place to start, but the knowledge was largely useless without any basis of fact to compare it to.
He's happy, though, when the topic changes. He's extremely interested in their case, but he's had something new on his mind lately, something he hasn't been able to share with anyone.
He thinks Reid might be worried about his reaction to finding out Reid's in a relationship with a man, but it doesn't phase Will in the slightest. Will himself has really only identified as heterosexual most of his life, but that isn't to say he hasn't entertained homosexual thoughts on occasion. He is and has always been open to experience and opportunity and allowing himself to be fluid in the moment.
"Did you meet your boyfriend here?" he asks, honestly very curious. Will had always had trouble meeting and connecting with people before he came here, but now that he's in this strange city, things have changed somehow, and he wonders if Reid experienced the same.
"I ask because I..." He pauses, feeling a little giddy to be admitting this to someone aloud for the first time. "I met someone," he finishes, and he can't keep a little bit of a smile from coming out across his face.
