Chris was smart, was good at tracking. Could even keep up with Nyssa, for the most part. Depending on some factors, there were even things he was occasionally better at. Not often, but often enough to make him a worthy opponent.
Among other things. But he preferred to not think about those other things. Thinking about them just led to angst and dwelling. He was also very good at those but unlike everything else? They weren't generally recommended.
He was focused on Nyssa as he approached, attention seemingly not focused on finding her at all. This was him, though, and his focus on the task was razor sharp.
