He blinks at the splashing, looking down at his soaked fur. He'd be angry about it but... well he just can't be mad at the cute little pup. He scratches at his ear and shrugs. "I don't think so, but could be! I mean, rare gems just lie around on the ground right?" He winces, that having come out far more sarcastic than he'd intended. He gives up the pretense and pads closer to the two of them. He hunkers down near the water, dipping up a handful and sniffing at it before tipping it back in. "She's right. Yer a pretty smart pup, you'll figure it out. But in the meantime, don't drink too much'a this water. Ain't poison, but it ain't clean either." He stays where he is, looking out at the distance and trying to place the uneasy feeling in his gut. He looks up at the woman after a long moment. "Hey, you smell anything odd out here?"
