["No, don't kill the dogs because Will would beat my face to pulp and snap my neck while they watched," is the end of that sentence, but no one needs to know that much.

Finding a corpse gets nothing out of Will, not a bat of the eyelash or frown or anything to show that it disturbs him. Victor might have said something about how he prefers coffee with creamer and sugar to black for how much of a reaction it gets out of him. Either Victor's normally like this or Will as experience with corpses; he'll let him come to a conclusion on his own. No need to divulge details.

More useful not as a test subject. Not as a dead one, apparently, even when he doesn't have magic to his name.]

I know enough to know I can't do that. [Bring the dead back to life or keep a dying organ working, that's beyond him.] I can stimulate a heart with my hands, but that doesn't work every time and...I'm sure a surgeon can do that, too.

[Unless he's from over a hundred years ago?]
