Though he did not have the depth of skill that was afforded a member of the Blue Court, Will did put a little effort into one bit of masking. He kept his eyes close to their original color back when he was human; a blue/green hazel. Except, even when he'd been human his eyes had also had the capacity to slip into a gun metal grey, which was closer to the black they had become when he'd first been turned.
Fellow vampires, like Fenris, who knew Will and knew of his history, might recognize that when his eyes slid to grey, the monster was cruising just beneath the surface. Usually it only happened when he was down in the Basement 'experimenting', but in the dim light of the library, on the subject of a potential Black novice like Akechi they were drifting towards grey.
"If you truly mean to take him on," Will was still soft-spoken, but his words weren't bitten off the way they got when he was in the basement. "Don't let him inventory everything that doesn't work. Like any child seeking the attention of their parent, he will get more and more creative until he can force a response. Provide him anchors, a genuine sense of belonging ... he might be salvageable."
