Will had spent the rest of the day out with the child's grave and then kept to himself, with a Hannibal shaped shadow, after lockdown. The next day he'd focused on pulling his weight with the heat suit and avoiding eye contact with everybody and this had continued through most of the day after that as well.
Oddly enough the awkward wasn't from the licking/teeth incident, at least not on Will's part. The awkward that was lingering with him came from the open conversation about how being around House helped make things work for him. The diagnostician and he had passed a couple conversations that were more open than either of them was comfortable being with a person.
Usually those moments were carefully wrapped back up into the safe shadows beneath either theorizing or shit talking one another. The other day they had been working their way through the theorizing coping mechanism, when everything had gone sideways.
Thus Will was ... dithering. Looking for an excuse, not finding a good one and back to dithering. Up to the point where the Admin gave him the perfect 'excuse'.
He waited until after lockdown, after getting cleaned up, before he took his tablet and headed purposefully towards wherever House was setting up for the night. Will walked right up to the doctor and began a strong and thoroughly important conversation with a sense of confidence and purpose!
Just kidding.
He made it to the edge of the doorway, crept into the shadows thrown by the weak light and the walls around them, and shifted from foot to foot before making the first move. So to speak. ]
I was hoping to get your opinion on the beacon. I know you don't like having yours on, so the first time Admin offered it, I passed.
But the offer has come up again, and I'm wondering if there isn't a strong suggestion that something might be coming that we need the protection from.
