The more Ken speaks, the more Will's underlying fear about someone taking advantage of him starts to solidify. Swaying isn't an attack, and Will goes about refilling his coffee and leaning against the counter again with his eyes off the kagune. It's difficult when it's something so completely out of his experience, but he manages to turn his look to Ken's face more often than not.
...a few glances to the snake-like organ aren't staring, they're just. To be expected, aren't they? This is a totally new experience for Will Graham and he can definitely appreciate that he's been allowed to see something most humans would ordinarily see before their death and get to walk away unharmed. Politeness and respect and his efforts to treat Ken as an equal instead of a disturbed young man who needs to be handled with special kid gloves should help keep it that way, or work in his favor.
I just...eat.
Well.
Maybe not. But at least he can say he tried?
"The power itself or the want for power?" He can guess from what Ken has given him. It seems to be leaning to the former. He gained a Centipede (and yes, Will has seen that around the Network; he files it away without making any mention of it because if Ken can so easily drop little details then far it be from Will to discourage that) and that Centipede runs his mind from time to time, is what Will's hearing. But when it doesn't? What does Ken feel then? Does he still feel crazy, does he still feel like even though he has control, he's one step from having that control taken away and therefore still completely crazy? "Some would argue that recognizing insanity, knowing that's what you are—thinking that's what you are...indicates that you. Aren't actually crazy."
Small comforts.
All he can really give, in a voice that implies Will has dealt with plenty of the insane. And yet here he stands anyway, carrying on a conversation with a confessed power-hungry human/ghoul eater without seeming to have a single complaint.
