( William hasn't heard anybody's heroic story. This is the first time he's hearing about it at all and the story is entertaining coming from Ian. It's amusing and it's drawing him in further, literally as he leans forward. First, he leans to take a better look at his bandage and next when Ian leans.

William's own grin peeks through, before he laughs. )

That may not be mysteriously complex, but, it worked.

( Not breaking that eye contact and not leaning back just yet, he tips his glass against Ian's. )

Every part of a plan matters. And every person in the plan. That's bravery, Ian. Vigilante bravery.
