[Oh good, Thomas wasn't going to run him off. That's encouraging. Obnoxious as he can be sometimes, Chris doesn't particularly like fighting with his brother, especially when it's just out of the blue without any provocation that he's aware of (not that it ever seemed to matter to Thomas, as he seemed able to find fault with anything he felt like).
Not that he personally has much interest in looking for a dog, so it wouldn't have been the end of the world if Thomas had decided he didn't want company. But it is nice watching Thomas doing something that makes him genuinely happy (there hasn't been enough of that in any of their lives, really). And somehow, he isn't surprised that a puppy that looks quite a bit like their old dog is the one that Thomas ends up most interested in.]
