Why he was doing this he didn't know, but it probably had something to do with the fact that pacing around the flat wasn't making much for his desire to be productive. Sitting on the couch with his communicator, going through what was being said was not helping and getting into a tense conversation with Wesker, ending on an uncertain note didn't make him feel much better.
Actually, his verbal argument for doing this was he saw that supposed private conversation between Wesker and Claire and upon hearing the supposed real reason Wesker invited him along, he figured he could justify sparing the time just a little better. If nothing else fit, Wesker did at least seem as interested in finding out who the killer was as everyone else. Chris couldn't deny they had similar goals in that aspect. To simply ignore Wesker 'just because' at this point was really just borderline stupid; and if Chris wanted to really try and help stop what was happening, he was going to have to grow up and accept that just maybe he was going to have to truce with

It was no wonder that his expression was currently difficult to read, but "observant" definitely would have been a good sum of the picture. Because, he was. Despite the nip and burn of hearing his full name spoken by that voice not over a radio being unnerving at it was enraging, the elder Redfield couldn't help but have his curiosity get the best of him. He never really had gotten to see Wesker that night, just a quick glimpse here and there through the fog in between arguing with Alex and those monsters engaging... and, well, he wanted a good look. And what he saw was not much different from what he remembered back home, or really, what he would have expected if they

If Wesker were troubled by the past, he didn't show it. The disguise of his black lensed sunglasses never turned away from Chris despite the head-on gaze.
