"Doesn't matter what you are. It never hurts to have a few tricks up your sleeve," Thomas says with a wink. At the boy's question, he chuckles and gets to his feet, brushing dirt from his own pants and trench coat. "Oh, right. I almost forgot we'd gone through a swamp. I was too excited to eat," he adds as he heads for his own room to change. He nods to the bathroom at the side before closing his door. "There's a bathroom right there you can change in. I'll be out in a few minutes."
Thomas changes quickly into a pair of sweats and a loose T-shirt, and then returns to the living room to flop onto the couch. The next order of business is to make a list of supplies for the dog they'll be getting tomorrow. He grabs his laptop off the counter and opens a document, typing in everything he thinks the new pet will need. If he's going to have a dog in his home, he's going to be prepared.
