Will nods, and he's not surprised when Reid tells him that the dead vampire he'd witnessed had disintegrated into dust. He's found references to that reaction in several sources, as well as a few where the bodies turn into meat soup, for lack of a better way to phrase it, and even fewer than just die and decompose as a mortal human being would. It would probably be too much to ask for any of the vampires in Darrow to leave a body they could examine, and he really doubts they'll be able to get any to come in voluntarily for tests.
"I never thought I'd say this, but this makes me miss regular human psychopaths," he says with a dry laugh. "At least you know what to expect biologically." He shakes his head. "You said before there are some vampires that hunt their own kind," he recalls, thinking of a different approach. "And some that only eat non-human animals. Do you think any of them submit to interviews?" he asks. "Maybe they have some information that could help."
He gives the waitress a tight smile when she comes to refill their coffee, hoping that she's not paying too close of attention to what they're saying. She'd probably just think they were crazy, but there's no knowing if the staff at any of these cafes and diners could be involved in the vampire attacks. It's best if they keep what they know away from any potentially prying ears.
Will's glad that Reid doesn't seem upset by Will's diversion in the topic of conversation. People like them can sometimes have trouble sharing their feelings, because they tend to feel over analyzed by other people criticized and judged. It's more likely because of how hyper aware they are of their own observatory skills, and how they look at other people themselves. There's a certain anxiety that comes with vulnerability, and there's nothing more vulnerable than admitting what you have in your heart.
If nothing else, Will is really starting to trust Reid's instincts. They have a similar skill set, but it's different enough that it broadens their combined abilities. Will can see people fairly clearly, spot motives and understand thought processes without a lot of effort. Reid seems to be the same, which is very comforting to Will. He can tell Reid's being honest with him, trusting him with information, and it only causes his already high level of respect for Reid to increase.
"Trust is imperative, I think, in romantic relationships," Will agrees, and the story Reid relays about trusting Luke immediately reminds him exactly of how he felt when he met Molly. "If you can find it that quickly, it's something to take notice of."
He wants to ask Reid more questions about Luke and his relationship, but he feels like that might happen organically as they continue their conversation. So he responds to Reid's questions for the moment instead. "It's both, actually," Will says, and it's a little dizzying to think about, how intense his feelings for Molly are already. "It's just starting, but it's... It's big," he explains, hoping Reid will understand. "I met her a week ago at Kagura. Molly Carpenter," he says, needing to tell Reid her name. "We haven't discussed terminology yet, but I'd call her my girlfriend. We're definitely together, and exclusive."
