Will grins briefly and shakes his head, looking back up into Shaw's eyes. "No, with you, I have to actually actively look. So I don't have to do my normal routine."
He looks back up, licking his lips, as he starts thinking about his techniques. Some of them have been with him for so long that he doesn't entirely remember where he picked them up. One is new and effective, but he'll be avoiding talking about that one for the time being.
"So if I find attachments forming, or I think I'm having feelings that aren't my own, I immediately detach myself from the situation, and throw any barriers in between us on the way that I can. Glasses go on, I close off my body language, I find something to stare at that I can focus on. If I can't remove myself, I'll do a slow count in my mind, timing with my breaths. Up to 10, then start over. Usually that's enough to stop anything happening in the moment."
He scratches his chin. "If it continues past that point, then I'm going to get away. Remove myself from the situation, find a small room to hide in with the lights off, pet whatever animals I'm near. Change all sensory experiences. Let myself reset."
