[At last, Carl is being ignored. Should be a load off! Right? Not having Negan bearing down on him, with or without Lucille, damn. That's something that'd give any of them a moment's relief. Carl done hit jackpot!
Bare fingers move over a fluffy neck, Negan leaning down closer. There's something nearly human about him when the dog shows dog affection back. When Tommy's tail wags, when a little tongue comes out, when Negan looks ready to get on his knees for once and ruffle up the pup.]
Cute. You're real cute. [He is talking to the dog, tone remarkably less shitty compared to what he'd use with a human. It helps encourage the dog he's made a good decision. And Negan, for now, doesn't give any vibe to contradict that. His hand moves over doggie neck and back and shoulders, along the spine without ever pressing too much or lingering too much on any given spot.] Probably wondering where's your breakfast, too. He treatin' you right? You look a little thin there...
[He looks back up at Carl now, fingers lazily working behind Tommy's ears.]

What's his name?
[That's a more Negan-y tone.]
