[ In years past, Will would have retreated in response to the show of dominance. Now, he holds his ground with in a calm display of authority. He's not looking to dominate anyone -except for the odd tussle with Hannibal- but he's not going to be pushed around either. If Carver wants to get into a physical altercation, Will will oblige. But for the time being, he isn't instigating a damn thing, sorry Carver. Nor is he going to act like prey and risk further exciting the other man's inner predator predator. ]
Not particularly. [ He responds. It isn't false modesty. Will doesn't find himself interesting in the least. He just happens to reflect the self back towards interesting people. By Will's logic, if Carver is finding him interesting, it's a reflection of Carver's view of himself. ] I'm just a confused little man, looking for a clean shirt.
[ It is tempting to deploy his avoidance tactics, but he knows that won't work. Not against this type of psychology. Carver is like a cat, batting at a mouse, wanting it to move for the entertainment of the chase. It has nothing to do with Will as an individual. It appears to be raw instinct within the other man at this point.
'Which begs the question, what in life has instilled this in him' Nope, no. Not going down the rabbit hole. Just going to wait this out.
Will might be thinking of himself as the mouse in this scenario, but he also expects he's the more disciplined predator. To hyper focus like this, on a complete stranger, suggests a primal drive towards violence. The sort of drive that does not lend itself to anything other than a bezerker type rage when triggered. ]
