Will's brows pinch slightly. The calm directness is not unpleasant, simply unusual, and it says something about the personality of this man. Already a file has been created and labeled in Will's mind, taking note of everything. He really wishes he could just not take so many notes, could just interact and exist, but that's not how his mind works. He's used to it.

The dog tilts his head up at Julien, friendly and inquisitive.

"Nice to meet you, Julien." Will is secretly relieved that they don't have to shake hands. "What bring you to the neighborhood?"

Will isn't so good at pretending to be friendly, but he also isn't trying to be rude.
