There wasn't a chance that Will was going to chicken out. He trusted the suit that the Alliance had given him, and he was covered enough that Samir wasn't in any danger. He was only exposing skin from the eyes up, after all, and it wasn't hot by any means. They would be in the clear for a while. He continued smiling behind his mask. One of his big regrets was that other people couldn't see that he was smiling. It was hard to look like a monster most of the time when you were actually a pretty nice, kind, friendly guy. He wouldn't removed the mask, though, not if the guy swore to God himself that it wouldn't be a problem. Will had had his fill of accidentally killing people with his toxins.
"Scorpion infused vodka?" His eyebrows raised, and a little laugh escaped him. "Why would you do a fool thing like that? Just for the thrill of it?" Not being able to get drunk and not having been able to experience any sort of buzz from alcohol since the first time he had it, he couldn't quite understand why people liked alcohol so much. "Did it taste like dirt? I can't get it out of my head that a scorpion would taste like dirt somehow." He'd never been exposed to scorpion venom, though. It wasn't lethal enough or painful enough for anyone's liking, so he'd been spared. If it was anything like the time they'd exposed him to black widow venom, though, he couldn't imagine that it would be pleasant.
"And...as for what's infectious? Well, I wish I could say it was my smile and charming personality." He shot a wink over at Samir, his smile lighting up his whole face. "Unfortunately it isn't quite that simple. I suppose you could say that all of me is. Hence the outfit." He couldn't put it any more subtly than that. If Samir kept pushing he'd have to come right out and get into the nuts and bolts of being a Tank, and he didn't feel like that. Even though he was Government bred and authorized for field service most people weren't comfortable when they learned about just what he was. Most people were distrustful of Tanks, and rightly so.
